Good riddance! We had a horrible, overpriced meal there in October. I don't think they will be missed.

It's always sad when a landmark closes but the food has not been very good there and it's been overpriced for many, many years.

I know. It sort of went downhill after the last owners retired and let their kids take it over. I don't think the kids ever worked behind the counter making the food like their parents did. They said it was because of the rent, but if you look at all their other locations across the US they all closed too.

I've always like the STAGE DELI a lot better than the CARNEGIE DELI. I guess now the CARNEGIE will be impossible to get into.

Yes those $18 pastrami sandwiches are pricey but they are the size of a human HEAD and succulently greasy!

there was a deli on 6th Avenue between 56th and 57th in the late 90's that resembled the Carnegie. Too bad it closed. Remember Wolf's on 6th and 57th? seems these deli restaurants are becoming extinct in Manhattan

I have heard that the lines for the Carnegie Deli are getting longer and longer, and I won't wait in line even for the Second Coming.

So where in Manhattan can I get a delicious BIG pastrami sandwich for less money, and perhaps no long wait? Any suggestions.

yes they are and it's sad.

I hope nothing happens to Katz's. Katz's is my favorite NYC deli but a pastrami sandwich is about 21 dollars now.

There was an article in the NYT about it, and I noticed that they politely ignored the fact that it's not considered to be very good in terms of food any more, and it's been mostly a tourist-trap in recent years. I only feel slightly nostalgic because my mother used to love it in the years when she was young and living in NYC. Of course, she'd never been to Katz's.

NYC Cardiologists just got sadder.
