- cupkeykNovember 17, 2014Omg! Tower of everything. Corned beef, pastrami, bacon, turkey, cheese. Good for sharing, even for the regular order ones. I love their strawberry cheesecake. Old chinese lady was so cute.
- Marika ConwayDecember 6, 2013Be forewarned-sandwiches are HUGE! Definitely share! You think it's pricey then you see what you get and you see why. Really fun place to be! If you want lunch go early-the line gets crazy by 12.
- Natasha OgrodnikNovember 8, 2014We visit here whenever in NYC. Even as a vegetarian I loved this place. Their veggie burger is to die for and their red velvet cake is spectacular. Huge, tasty salads and amazing sandwiches.
- Social News NetworkOctober 30, 2013Scrumptious sandwiches. I recommend the Reuben; it is incredible. Just a heads-up: the sandwiches are stupidly huge so plan on splitting. Small, packed, little place with an awesome New York-feel.
- Jumpman23January 10, 2013When Carmelo Anthony came to town the deli immortalized him with a meat monument known as "The Melo". It's a skyscraper of pastrami, salami, corned beef, lettuce, tomato, Russian dressing and bacon.
- Scott S.November 3, 2016Usually get the Woody Allen sandwich (combo of pastrami and corned beef). Everything is top shelf, here- Matzo ball soup; Brisket; Latkes - all good. Desserts are fantastic- try the 5th Avenue Pie
- Matthew SchechtmanSeptember 23, 2010Matzoh ball soup + Woody Allen + Potato Knish + Cheesecake = best meal you will EVER have. Just don't eat anything the day before or the day after and you will still be taking 1/2 home!!!
- Harumi UOctober 3, 2014Everything is big here. You can split anything you get with someone else. Sandwiches, knish, cheesecake are worth trying at least once.
- Daniel GozJuly 26, 2013This place is a must-go! I tell all my friends! They have the best cheesecake in the whole world! I I know people who don't like cheesecake, and they all loved this one!
- Barry BloomJanuary 7, 2015One of my all-time favorites. Dinner there on Monday with mom, brother Steve, Kreda, Sosh and son, Jackson. Brother ask waiter if bread comes with his omelette. "You have to ask," he says. Classic!
- Roberto CosteSeptember 18, 2016Be aware of the size of the sandwiches! Huge portions; the Woody Allen is delicious! Pastrami with corn beef
- Josh WarfieldMarch 13, 2015the brisket sandwhich or the open face reuben! the sandwhiches are huge! love the homemade pickles. finish the night off with some strawberry cheese cake.
- Alfred ASeptember 27, 2014If you want to pay an arm and a leg for a pile of pastrami between two slices of cold bread this is the place to go. Servers are pushy and you are herded around. Go just to take a pic.
- The Corcoran GroupJanuary 7, 2011A tourist destination that charges $3 to split a sandwich. Still…it’s worth it once you dive into their giant pastrami sandwich served in a hot minute.
- Angie BottsSeptember 1, 2013All I have to say is Amazing!! Best Rueben sandwich EVER!! One is enough for 3 people!!! If I ever return to NYC I will eat here again!! Loved it!!!
- Mike CamptonMarch 31, 2013Get the Woody Allen. If you're not a big eater, ask to share it. If you're a big eater, still ask to share. Finish off with the fresh strawberry cheesecake.
- MarcMarch 9, 2015“the matzo-ball soup is terrific; The towering Woody Allen is satisfying; Carnegie is impt because it's the last of the great tourist-hazing Broadway showbiz delis” – GS:
http://tinyurl.com/m8jpzn3 - Jack HarrisonSeptember 17, 2014Grab a pastrami on rye, but share it unless you're feeling epic. Same story with the cheesecake, if you can handle it after the meats!
- ErinFebruary 17, 2013Best damn cheesecake around! Great service. Doesn't take cards but there is an ATM on site and the waitresses are nice enough to make change if you need it.
- EddieOctober 15, 2014Best pastrami sandwiches in NyC. Now they have the Derek Jeter sandwich it's a most try. Amazing melt in your mouth food!!
- Graphic AgencyNovember 28, 2013The venerable delicatessen's Sandwich of the Month. This puppy features a pair of latkes piled with roast turkey, gravy and stuffing, served open-faced with cranberry sauce on the side.
- Lisa GanskyJune 15, 2012Great place for meat-eaters. Good place to stop after tiring your guests out walking through Central Park. Get cheesecake take-out at nearby Stage Deli on your way home.
- Elizabeth GardnerJuly 9, 2014Ask how big a side dish is before ordering. Potions here are huge. I asked for a side of bacon and I swear they brought me a pound of it on a plate.
- Eric GallegosDecember 7, 2016Overpriced? Yeah. Delicious? You bet! An institution for a reason. Get some before it closes! Woody Allen. Latke. Cheesecake.
- FoodSherpas.comAugust 21, 2011Here you'll find one of the tastiest potato knishes on the planet. A soft and buttery crust with delicious mashed potatoes inside.
- Hong Kyu ParkJuly 4, 2015Love the pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. The pickles are also a must. Watch out for the giant servings
- Nicole AngelesSeptember 15, 2013I got the woody allen sandwich with a slice of swiss. Nothing special I still prefer Katz over Carnegie. But I heard their reuben was pretty good so I'll guess I'll have to come back for that!
- ESTHERJune 7, 2016The potato salad was amazing!!! Sandwiches are big enough for two to three people.
- TW ✈️👸🏻May 25, 2021Split the sandwich with your friend... or get an amazing corned beef & hash omelet!!
- benjamin bannisterJuly 9, 2012$16.75 for their famous Pastrami sandwich, and $9.75 for a slice of cheesecake. It's pricey because the portions are big enough for two, so go there with a friend.
- Barry BloomDecember 12, 2016Have eaten here for 40 years. With it closing on Dec. 31 this was my last experience tonight: they closed an hour early because of "technical" problems and the manager didn't care. Good riddance.
- Mark CortejosSeptember 10, 2013Out-of-towners be advised, food servings are massive. Pay the split charge to share and save yourself some money (and pounds).
- Scott KleinbergOctober 28, 2016Pastrami on rye with spicy mustard. The menu is HUGE but this is the best thing you can order.
- Lori FuentesAugust 14, 2014The pastrami was tender and was possibly the best I have ever had. Also large portions so sharing was perfect.
- EgeAugust 12, 2014World class delicatessen located in the heart of NYC. My advice is to try one of the specials
- PaddyMay 10, 2016Nice traditional NY deli serving sandwiches and breakfast. Pastrami omelette was very good
- Hi There!January 13, 2014Portions are HUGE! Split meals, unless you want a couple of days worth of leftovers. It's worth the $3 split plate fee.
- Guest of a GuestJanuary 25, 2012USA Today deemed this deli to the "most famous deli in the United States." It's also great for late night dining since it's open until 4 a.m. Read more
- Craig LMarch 21, 2012Always good - always plenty. This place may be touristy but the locals love it too because it's awesome. Don't forget - cash only.
- Mohammed GhaithSeptember 10, 2016There's a long line but it's worth it! Enjoy the pastrami sandwich and the cheesecake
- Savory Sweet EatsApril 6, 2013The Pastrami Reuben is as good as everyone says it is. Sandwich is HUGE, share it with another person (or 2).
- Lisa NJuly 1, 2013Split a sandwich and slice of cheesecake between two, still a mountain of food! Leave the tip on the table and just pay the bill at the cash register.
- Stephanie GittinMarch 28, 2013You would not even realize you're walking by it it's a hole in the wall but the food is so good. A must stop and eat
- David SolimanoFebruary 9, 2016Try one of everything. If you get the Reuben, being someone to split it with.
- Go for breakfast, too: coffee's hot. Platters are big. And you can still order your fav mega sandwich.
- Lizz C.April 12, 2015Excellent food!! They permanently closed their back room so there is always a line out the door.
- patricia brunsonJuly 29, 2011Best cheesecake! Tip: they serve you a generous portion so it would be wise not to order a sandwich because that's also a generous portion.
- AaronMay 9, 2013Tip: Portions are big so share a Woody Allen with someone cute who's about to give a talk at a prestigious economics conference.
- JBLJune 4, 2013Nom Nom. If you like your sandwiches piled high, then you are in for quite the experience at the NYC staple. We recommend the "Woody Allen!"
