Newkirk's is a neighborhood sandwich counter in the Mission serving breakfast and lunch. The fried egg sandwiches are the throughline: Applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, and an over-medium egg on a soft poppy seed roll, with versions swapping in sausage, pastrami, or grilled ribeye steak in the Horse on the Roof. The rest of the menu runs through deli and hot sandwich territory — a Bronx pastrami with housemade coleslaw, a ribeye cheesesteak with peppers and onions, and The Italian, stacked with salami, ham, mortadella, soppressata, and pepperoni.
Everything gets dressed with house touches: bread-and-butter pickles, pickled jalapeños, a creamy garlic-lemon dressing, and a bright orange habanero sauce served on the side and sold by the bottle.
