The Ledge is a tapas bar, serving sandwiches and other casual bar food.

This 1970s-themed spot, which features outdoor seating, is part of a new bar and restaurant complex that includes Italian restaurant Gemelli. The Ledge offers a more concise menu than Gemelli, focusing on sandwiches, small plates and shareables. Check out the prosciutto sandwich with burrata, the soppressata sandwich with hot pepper jam, and the tuna sandwich with soft-boiled egg and capers. 

With a five-star Yelp rating out three reviews, the business has been getting positive attention.

Yelper Chelly C., who reviewed the eatery on Aug. 3, wrote, "Definitely fun and worth the wait."

Natalia R. noted, "This place has great potential!"

The Ledge is open from 4 p.m.–midnight Monday-Wednesday; 4 p.m.–2 a.m. on Thursday and Friday; 11 a.m.–2 a.m. on Saturday; and 11 a.m.–midnight on Sunday.

Manny's Gourmet Deli and Grocery offers hot and cold sandwiches made to order.

The 24-hour shop stocks organic and specialty groceries and serves food at all times of day. Stop in for classic club sandwiches, BLTs and Reubens, or for specialty hot sandwiches, like the turkey melt with pesto and the chicken parm panini. Or design your own sandwich, with your choice of cold cuts and toppings.

With a three-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp, Manny's Gourmet Deli and Grocery is still finding its way, but it's early days.

Yelper Mark M., who reviewed the business on July 8, wrote, "I really liked the brunch, lunch and dinner options, plus the place is open 24 hours. We spoke with the head chef/owner. He had super confidence in his food-making abilities and rightfully so — the dude can cook."

Proper Food is a grab-and-go restaurant, offering sandwiches and more.

Founded in San Francisco in 2013, Proper Food expanded to the East Coast last September with its first New York City location, which opened up on Wall Street. The company has since opened two more locations in the city, including this spot.

The business offers guests to-go cases filled with options like a turkey avocado sandwich, a ham and cheese sandwich with herbed aioli, and a grilled veggie wrap with coconut and turmeric yogurt sauce. At the end of the day, unsold food is donated to local food banks.

Yelp users are still warming up to Proper Food, which currently holds 3.5 stars out of seven reviews on the site.

Yelper Ilirida A., who was one of the first users to visit the business on July 11, wrote, "Sometimes when you're in a rush, it's great to have a quick-and-easy healthy option."

Proper Food is open from 7 a.m.–9 p.m. on weekdays. (It's closed on weekends.)
