Yankee Stadium all-star Lobel’s brings famed steak sandwiches to Midtown for the first time — after 160 years in the butcher biz
NY Post
Bronx Bomber fans know all about Lobel’s world-class steak sandwiches, served only at Yankee Stadium — until very recently.
Now, the rest of New York — even Mets fans! — will know, too, as the historic Upper East Side butcher’s where Jackie Onassis once shopped for chops debuts its first-ever sit-down eatery, smack in the heart of Midtown.
Located along the concourse beneath Rockefeller Center, the sparkling new spot from the 160-year-old Madison Avenue meatery is drawing fans-in-the-know, well-heeled shop regulars and busy corporate suits — all eager for a bite of the until-now elite ballpark treats.
“Every single day since we opened, someone says, ‘We couldn’t wait for you to open.’ We’ve been watching you for a long time.’ Or, ‘We’re excited because we know we used to only get a Lobel sandwich during Yankee games,’” Mark Lobel, co-owner of Lobel’s, told The Post.
“People come into our Upper East Side store all the time and ask, ‘Hey, where can we get that sandwich?'”
They can’t — or couldn’t.
