In 1936, local NYC lore gave birth to the term "Hero"—referring to the mighty, meat-loaded Italian sandwich that only a true hero could conquer. Today, we honor all of NYC’s heroes, big or small. Everyone can be a hero—and everyone deserves a hero-sized sandwich!
Whether you call it a sub, hoagie, grinder, or hero, at Lenwich, we treat you like a hero. In our eyes, everyone deserves a taste of greatness.
Celebrate your inner hero with us—every bite is a tribute to the legendary sandwiches that started it all.

Feeding NYC’s Heroes Since 1989
At Lenwich, we believe in the power of Family, Friends, and Food. From parents and teachers to doctors and neighbors, we’re here to feed all of NYC’s heroes with freshly made, delicious meals that bring people together.
Our Story
In 1989, Lenny Chu and his brother Brian opened their first deli, determined to make every sandwich with care and love. Today, we’ve grown to over 14 stores (and even expanded to South Korea!), but our commitment to quality and community remains the same.
Our sandwich artists craft each meal with the same dedication as if they were making it for their own family. That’s the Lenwich way—no shortcuts, just good food.
From our family to yours, go ahead and take a bite!
