Like the earth, a sandwich is made of layers and gathers its strength from its meaty core, which pushes condiments toward the crust to erupt and bury fingers in deliciousness. Let rivers of mayo magma run with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of sandwiches and salads at Gandolfo's New York Delicatessen, with locations on both Center Street and Pacific Street.

Gandolfo's salutes meats, grains, and greens by raising up more than 60 different fresh and homemade options. Many of the deli’s sandwiches pay homage to New York City, including the Manhattan Transfer, a hot sandwich comprised of cappicola, three potent cheeses, spicy mustard, and butter ($8.39), and the Rockefeller Reuben, a historic gathering of sauerkraut, choice deli meat, and russian dressing ($7.09). Gandolfo's famous box lunches are also available in 3-D form, and include side salads or other appetizing accompaniments.

Leafy salads, soups of the day, and Nathan's famous dogs also adorn the delicatessen’s menu. For sweet tongues, Gandolfo’s crew also churns out a variety of cookies in addition to the signature homemade chocolate mousse cake, which beckons dessert diehards with its grandiose antlers and soothing, alluring call ($1.99).

• Gandolfo's hits the spot when I need a pastrami fix. The bread is fresh, as it appears to be warm out of the oven. The meats are tasty, neither too wet or too dry. I like the decor with the New York memorabilia. – Ben K., Yelp
• Place is really good and really fresh. – Daniel Z., Yelp
