you can get a good sandwich here for $6. Some places do charge as much as $12-13 though. the chicken parm sandwich im about to go pickup for lunch is 8.99

Very tough place to open a brick & mortar deli. There are still a handful of old time Italian delis in North Beach and the Mission (Lucca) but costs of floorspace and labor are much higher than normal. Moishe's Pippic was one of the better Jewish delis in the city but it just closed after a long run because their rent went through the roof.
Have you thought about a food truck?

Where is this perfectly good Subway? I've never been to one that was anything better than mediocre.No idea why I'd go there when there's a perfectly good Subway next door.

Right next to the exceptional Chipotle, and about a half block down from the taqueria that serves Alpo.Where is this perfectly good Subway? I've never been to one that was anything better than mediocre.No idea why I'd go there when there's a perfectly good Subway next door.

It's hardly rocket science. And the egg can be made anyway you want. I'm shocked how few regions have this simple delight. The kaiser (kai-zah) role, fresh and soft, is essential.What's a NY style breakfast sandwich?Eminence can guide you to a no-fail business plan and strategy.

It's not pretentious, and I wouldn't doubt that you can get these in other areas of the East Coast.

There's nothing unique about it other than they are offered far more often in NYC than any other place in the country.

Every deli/convenience store sells these things.
You just get used to it living in NY. It's regional in that they sell it/offer it more here but there's nothing proprietary to NYC about it. They aren't famous for it, it's not even really that good
(kinda like the Cheesesteak or Soft Pretzel here in Philly....you can get one everywhere but it's more omnipresent here)

Financially figure out how much it will take to pay all the bills and make no money the first 18 to 24 months. Because unless you just hit it out of the park with a location that's how long you can figure it taking to get going. I know Tips is blowing that curve but he is the exception not the rule. Most new restaurants trace their failure to under capitalization as a major culprit in that failure. And really that applies to any start up. That's why franchisee's usually require so much liquid capital for you to get in.

That said, I'll say this is as a on the wealthy side fat guy (and I'm sure Otis would agree with me here).
Have better food than any competitors and no one really cares how much you charge. Bring in at least a chef consultant to design the menu and go for the more natural/premium ingredients...you will knock it out of the park.
If you set up with delusions of grandeur making Reubens with store bought low end bologna and pre packaged macaroni salad, you are done.
Make it homeade, use good ingredients and give the people something they will want to come back for.

One thing I always thought would be a good niche would be to open a deli that serves the usual deli stuff but have a menu that features potato chips on sandwiches.
Figure out what sandwich and flavor of potato chip go good together and put the chips ON the sandwich. Would be a great kitchy idea that I haven't seen done before and chips on a sandwich rule.
I would suggest Plain Ruffles on Tuna. Heavenly.

Oh...and don't forget the chicks in Yoga pants.
Blond co-ed in yoga pants + chips on a sandwich = "uhm is this place heaven or just Scoreman's deli?"
