West 109 Gourmet Deli has all the markings of a quintessential New York bodega: a line to order at the counter after midnight, a slew of local characters who keep the place eccentric, and wholly satisfying, affordable sandwiches. It's a popular haunt for Columbia students (the signature Spicy Special with Cajun turkey and pepper jack is a late-night hit) but it's also a solid option for a reliable bacon, egg, and cheese in the morning.
