Day & Night Deli’s grilled cheese sandwiches range from $1 to $2.75.  The one pictured below—grill toasted whole wheat with American cheese costs one dollar.  A little butter spread on each side before it hits the grill results in a fantastic bite and pure deliciousness. Customers can select from a variety of breads and cheeses, including swiss and provolone.

El Cofre’s grilled cheese sandwiches are $2.50.  Customers can also select from a variety of cheeses and breads, including swiss, pimento and “Dominican cheese.” Pictured is a pressed roll with American cheese.  The key to the deliciousness at El Cofre—the press.  Every sandwich is heated in the sandwich press for a few minutes before it’s ready for the glorious grilled cheese finished debut.
