Carnegie Deli Is Back in NYC | New York City News

The Carnegie Deli is back—and it’s a New York moment! After years away, this legendary deli reopened yesterday in Midtown, drawing lines as early as 7 AM for its iconic pastrami on rye and award-winning cheesecake. Run by the founder’s granddaughter Sari Harper, it’s a third-generation revival of the original 1937 spot—now just blocks from Carnegie Hall. The menu stays classic: slow-cooked meats, unchanged cheesecake, and even the Wall of Fame featuring stars like Jerry Seinfeld and Taylor Swift. But they’ve added a new beast—the Colossus sandwich—with layers of pastrami, corned beef, turkey, Swiss, coleslaw, and Russian dressing. And yes, they’re still sticking to their old motto: “If you can finish your food, you’ve done something wrong.” It’s not just lunch—it’s history with a bite.
