Authentic delicatessen reataurants still there? (Madison, Lexington: restaurants, eat, places)

[rlrl]

Can anyone identify which Jewish style delicatessen restaurants are left in Manhattan? I know we have Katz's on Houston and Ludlow, the Carnegie and the Stage on 7th Ave in the 50's, but I miss Wolf's on 57th and 6th which closed and may have moved further east on 57th--looked like part vegetarian when i last inquired. Other similar places like Ben Ash's on 7th across from the Carnegie/Stage and another one on 7th and 51 st. Also sorely miss Kaplan's on 47th street(last 1989) and another one on 47th street I can't recall the name(does anyone know?). We had Orloff's on 66 and Bway--gone. We still have Ben's on 38th between 7th/8th.

I've eaten at several others in the past and fear they're no longer there--on 7th Avenue near 28th street in the early 90's, a place on Lexington and 52 street, on 6th Ave between 56th and 57th(last 1997), Madison Ave and 38th street--anyone know their names and if they're still there now?

The 2nd Ave Deli reopened on 33rd St between 3rd Ave and Lex

Please, most of them have been ruined by other elements. Even the most of the old fashioned diners are gone

There are essentially NONE left. Nothing like Gitlitz at 77th and Broadway. Even those that claim authenticity don't really have it.

did the Manhattan Diner relpace Gitlitz? (NE corner)

The Carnegie is not authentic by any stretch of the imagination. Quite the contrary, it's more like a stereotype. The closest thing to an old-fashioned Jewish deli in Manhattan is Katz's. (Ben Ash, across the street from the Carnegie, is pretty good, by the way!)
