Marie Eiffel Market

Long Island


This wildly popular gourmet deli is right near the North Ferry and makes for a perfect pit stop, especially if you want to put together a picnic on the beach. In addition to made-to-order breakfast (bagel) and lunch sandwiches (grass-fed hanger steak, vegan hummus on mutligrain), there are local cheeses, charcuteries and all manner of provisions.

There are a few communal tables inside and out if you want to dine in.
