What's a good NYC-based company for printing menus?

The bakery/café I work for is looking for a good company to print our menus. We're looking to print "tall" menus. I'm sorry this is so vague, but I don't know the measurements or name of the type of menu. If I had to guess I'd say ~8" x ~4" — you know, the kind you often see in restaurants/cafés/delis, etc, often with a trifold. We're most likely doing just a double sided piece of paper, though. We're located in Brooklyn, so we'd be looking for a company somewhere here or in Manhattan.

Best answer: Depending on what you're after, it'll be a simple, bread and butter (heehee) job for any print shop. I previously compiled a list of possible printers in Manhattan. All of them are unused from my point of view. The question asker had much more esoteric needs than you, but I actually think this answer is probably more suited to your question.
Paper Slam seem really nice and friendly and fairly cheap.
Print Mor are also apparently very friendly and good. They present a very professional face.
The Source Unltd Copy Shop are much more of a kind of local Easy Village place. Not sure if they'll do exactly what you need, but it might be worth asking.
Publicide do some really nice letterpress stuff. I don't know what their digital stuff's like, but I imagine it's pretty good.
Print Icon are apparently very good, but a the customer service apparently varies wildly between being fantastic and being rather... superior.

Response by poster: Those are some great leads to get started with. Thanks, Magnakai.

Also, I'm now figuring it would be slightly larger than I previously stated. The size I guessed was probably more brochure size.

There's just so many printing companies in the city — I'm glad to have a point in the right direction.

Best answer: Once designed, a good copy shop could copy out the menu on whatever stock paper you wanted and trim it to size. When I worked in Manhattan, Unique Copy Center on Greene Street near NYU was our "go to" place for orders and Chucky, who was their computer order guy, was very helpful.

Best answer: Lewis and Brown does consistently beautiful work for the org I work for, and they're pretty accommodating of changes and back-and-forth conversation about the project.
