Founded in 1937, the legendary NYC eatery closed 10 years ago. But now, to the delight of delicatessen fans, it\u2019s returning to a new spot, just a block from its former home, on Seventh Ave. at W. 54th St. The space formerly housed the Stage Deli \u2014 Carnegie Deli\u2019s gustatory rival during New York\u2019s \u201cpastrami wars\u201d \u2014 and more recently Roxy Delicatessen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always knew the timing and the opportunity had to be right,\u201d said Sarri Harper, the business\u2019s third-generation CEO. \u201cWhen the former Stage Deli space became available, it felt incredibly fitting. There\u2019s so much New York deli history in this space, and the opportunity to continue that legacy on Seventh Avenue made this feel like the right next chapter for Carnegie Deli.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Appetizing<\/p>\n

The revived restaurant will boast an extensive menu. Naturally, there will be the classics, including piled-high pastrami and corned-beef sandwiches on rye with D\u00fcsseldorf mustard and half-sour and sour pickles, along with matzo ball soup, knishes and all-beef footlong franks.<\/p>\n

A new temptation is the Carnegie Deli Colossus, \u201cthe tallest stack on the menu,\u201d heaped with pastrami, corned beef, turkey, Swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian dressing on rye.<\/p>\n

There will also be a breakfast menu, including omelettes \u2014 with a choice of pastrami, corned beef, salami or turkey \u2014 plus corned beef or pastrami hash, bagels and lox and latkes, or fried potato pancakes.<\/p>\n

Other new tantalizers include babka French toast, fried deli pickle chips, which the menu describes as \u201ccrispy, briny, impossible to stop eating,\u201d and the Full Lee Loaded Reuben Fries, \u201ca mountain of fries buried under pastrami, melted Swiss, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCarnegie Deli has always been about more than the food \u2014 it\u2019s about the memories people have here,\u201d Harper said. \u201cWe want the people who grew up with Carnegie Deli to walk in and immediately recognize it, while giving a whole new generation the chance to make those same memories of their own.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
