Smashiess

I love Smashies! I’ve been talking about doing the smashies challenge forever. They have other eating challenges not on the wall too, like eating four pieces of wonderbread in under 1 minutes (I think it was 1 minute)
Go to smashies.

Had a perfect breakfast sandwich here. I hate I found it on my last day. I had a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and a bagel for $ 4.25. Say what!!! If I am in the area again, I’m coming here daily.

Huge pressed steak and cheese sandwich, cut in half with no mayo, plenty of steak, lettuce, onions, tomatoe and jalepeno for $ 7. Filling and really good! Next time I’m going to ask for avacado!

Pretty amazing.
Small place… but worth the wait for a Philly. Probably the best sandwiches in East Harlem and right off the 6 train. You really can’t go wrong here. There really is only room for 3 people to wait inside but do it or call ahead because you will be happy with anything you order. And they make fresh, delicious smoothies.

This place has excellent food, I Love their sandwiches, i can eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they are open late and very friendly. I’ve been eatting here for years.

It’s a hole in the wall lol. But the sandwiches are good. I love my bacon egg and cheese.

This place is LEGEND. Prices are ACE. Service is the tits. When living in spanish harlem, down the street, SO many hungover nights/​mornings were spent getting that food fix here. Kudos to Smashiess for keeping it real!

I grew up in east harlem and have been eating at Smashies forever. Its a hole in the wall but they have some of the best cold and hot sandwiches in NYC. Their burgers are fresh made and way better then any fast food joint also.
They added a juice bar in the front now so you can order your choice of freshly made juices from a huge option of fruits and veggies.
Its located right near the 6train so you can grab whatever you need coming or going. Its on 103^rd and lexington and if you do happen to be in the area its a must have!

Five stars for making awesome, hot sandwiches for like two bucks!
Five stars for a 99 cent ATM.
Five stars for $ 1 hotdogs.
Five stars for the cum in your mouth burger.
Five stars for vanilla coke.
Five stars for having good tv shows on to watch every time I wait for my order.
Five stars for hosting the World Series of dice out front.
Five stars for making the salami and cheese sandwiches that my wife loves.
I will be forever immortalized in smashiess history cos I ate the cum in your mouth burger pictured in the menu. No joke, that’s my burger that the owner used in the photo. Nobody else will know, but I will.
If you get off the 6 train at 103, you have to stop in to this East Harlem institution. Smashiess should be registered as a historic landmark.
When I die, I want my ashes to be scattered along with toasted breadcrumbs, throughout the green AstroTurf in front of the store.

Popular, reliable neighborhood place. Not your standard all-​taste-​the-​same Boar’s Head corner store. Interesting, original sandwich combinations and great fruit shakes. They do great things with marinated chicken breast. These guys never fuck up my order no matter how detailed it is and no matter how deep the press of people rushing to get breakfast on our way to work in the narrow space of this little bodega.

We always stop here when we come to NYC — ALWAYS. I love em… Perfect sandwich for when your touring the city with the kids and your tour guide is your husband who doesn’t believe in slowing down. LOL

At midnight: thirty on a thursday night, I, along with 3 other friends found ourselves in the east harlem area. When our tummies grumbled, the guys knew where we had to go: smashiess.
This no frills and very small deli has infinite menu items. If they carry the ingredient– they can make the sandwich. There is even a juice area where you can grab a fresh smoothie.
Smashiess is a standout when it comes to delis. Its probably the only deli i have been to where I ordered several sandwiches that were less than $ 3 a piece. And The only deli that I ate in, standing up, talking to the Mr. Smashiess himself (what a great guy).
Smashiess never closes so no matter what time of day it is, you will be able to grab a hero pressed thin, crispy, warm, melty and gooey.
If you are up for a challenge, smashiess has lots! You can win $ 200 if you eat five slices of bread in under 1 minute. Or get on the wall of fame if you can finish the 16 oz burger in under 5 minutes (ladies, if you accomplish this, you eat at smashiess free for the rest of your life…)
I really appreciate this place.
Highlights: Cum in Your Mouth Burger, Surf and Turf Sandwich, Elvis, and the eddie spaghetti.
Its cash only here, but there is an ATM that most drunken people mistake for a slot machine.

Can’t believe that Smashies is here, lol. An ol’ school sandwich spot that has been around for decades. It was first across the street at the old Mr. Kim spot until they moved on their own. Makes great «planchao» as well as hamburgers and now fruit smoothies.

This is not one of the cleaniest of places but if you got $ 2 dollars you can eat a quality sandwich that’s called a Smashie. For those that arent in the know the locals refer to the Smashie as a «ghetto» panini. The sandwich is pressed flat like a panini and the bread resembles and taste like sourdough bread.

I so love Smashiess! They’re open 24 hours, they’re incredibly cheap, and the food is good. Most recently I got an egg-​and-​cheese sandwich and a portion of fries there, for $ 3.25! And their fries are honestly the best I’ve had in NY.

I finally had Smashiess and I almost wish I never had. I can’t stop eating these damn sandwiches now. They’re delicious and they cost 2 – 3 bucks! I grab one and go sit in the park, I grab one after a late night out, I grab one after a long day at work if I don’t want to cook. My pre-​summer diet has turned into salami and cheese, ham and cheese and turkey and cheese melts, 3 times a week. I don’t know anywhere else you can get a huge tasty pressed sandwich for that cheap. Theres no space inside to eat it, but theres a stoop right outside and the park is only 2 blocks away.

This bodega can barely hold five people standing. Having said that, it is THE spot in Spanish Harlem for cheap yummy smoothies, sandwiches, burgers, fries, and other eats. Their «smashies» sandwiches are hot and pressed flat (a la plancha) and can’t be beat for 2 – 5 bucks! Their burgers are also very inxpensive and yummy, and WAY better than grabbing a burger at McDonalds. (You’ve done it before, don’t lie!) Also their smoothies are pretty good, and only 3 bucks and change.
Basically, if you want a sandwich or burger that’s quick, hot, fresh, and under 5 bucks go to Smashies. Waiting for your food can be a little awkward due to the small space but hey, you can’t beat the price.
Also they have something new called the «Smashiess Challenge» that says if yo can eat their 16oz burger in under 5 minutes you get it for free and get to be put in the Smashiess Hall of Fame. I’ve never seen the burger but I heard it’s monstrous with eggs, and all kinds of crazy toppings.

Seriously, from the time i was like 11 years old, this was the spot and we all knew about it. Since I was 11, I have gone to this place to get a salami and cheese, hot, which is accomplished using a sandwich press. This place has been well liked by locals for decades. I used to get a sandwich and a strawberry yoohoo… then they just stopped stocking strawberry yoohoos… and when I was able to get one, I think the formula changed cause it was nasty. Also the sandwiches are really really reasonably priced, as in cheap.
The place is really small and people pop in and out all the time and if you dont know any better they all have their own code. There is also lots of candy.
If you are one of those east harlem gentrification transplants that funded the buyout that took me elsewhere, you owe it to yourself to get you a sandwich…(wow…how does he go from gramatically sound to writing in brooklynese so easily? Its a gift my friend.) Brooklynese will help you better enjoy your experience at smashiess! Long live the urban experience!

The world’s smallest bodega offers some of the finest pressed sandwiches and freshly squeezed juices & blended shakes. More to come.
