Classic New York Hero

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! 

New York City Pride

We’re proud to have been featured in Coca-Cola’s "Support Local Eats" initiative, shining bright in Times Square as a celebrated NYC eatery.  

Welcome to Lenwich—a new way to ‘wich, where every bite is perfection.

Crafting a New Way to ‘Wich

At Lenwich, we believe a sandwich is more than just a meal—it’s a masterpiece of flavor and craftsmanship. In a world where sandwiches are often overlooked, we set out to elevate this classic with fresh, high-quality ingredients and attention to every detail.

Our commitment is simple: no shortcuts, no compromises. Every sandwich is hand-crafted with care, celebrating bold flavors and precise execution. We don’t do pre-made or ordinary—only authentic, delicious creations.

It all started with “Gimme one of them Lenny’s sandwiches,” 

From that simple request, Lenwich was born—a name that captures Lenny’s vision of redefining the sandwich experience.

With us, it’s never just a sandwich—it’s a moment of culinary excellence.

Born and bread in New York. Made for those who never settle.
