Omg! 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.

We 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.

Be 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.

Scrumptious 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.

One 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!

Usually 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

This 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!

When 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.

Everything is big here. You can split anything you get with someone else. Sandwiches, knish, cheesecake are worth trying at least once.
Matthew SchechtmanSeptember 23, 2010
Matzoh 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!!!

“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

The 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.

If 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.
Roberto CosteSeptember 18, 2016
Be aware of the size of the sandwiches! Huge portions; the Woody Allen is delicious! Pastrami with corn beef
Angie BottsSeptember 1, 2013
All 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!!!
EddieOctober 15, 2014
Best pastrami sandwiches in NyC. Now they have the Derek Jeter sandwich it's a most try. Amazing melt in your mouth food!!
The Corcoran GroupJanuary 7, 2011
A 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.
Lisa GanskyJune 15, 2012
Great 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.
Josh WarfieldMarch 13, 2015
the brisket sandwhich or the open face reuben! the sandwhiches are huge! love the homemade pickles. finish the night off with some strawberry cheese cake.

Here you'll find one of the tastiest potato knishes on the planet. A soft and buttery crust with delicious mashed potatoes inside.
Barry BloomDecember 12, 2016
Have 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.
impactmagazine onlineJune 5, 2011
One of the most famous delis in New York City is one of our favorites. Be sure to bring your appetite as once you see the sandwiches, you'll understand everything. YAY PASTRAMI!!!
ErinFebruary 17, 2013
Best 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.
Mike CamptonMarch 31, 2013
Get 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.
ESTHERJune 7, 2016
The potato salad was amazing!!! Sandwiches are big enough for two to three people.
Eric GallegosDecember 7, 2016
Overpriced? Yeah. Delicious? You bet! An institution for a reason. Get some before it closes! Woody Allen. Latke. Cheesecake.
Jack HarrisonSeptember 17, 2014
Grab 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!
Lori FuentesAugust 14, 2014
The pastrami was tender and was possibly the best I have ever had. Also large portions so sharing was perfect.
Hong Kyu ParkJuly 4, 2015
Love the pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. The pickles are also a must. Watch out for the giant servings
PaddyMay 10, 2016
Nice traditional NY deli serving sandwiches and breakfast. Pastrami omelette was very good
Mohammed GhaithSeptember 10, 2016
There's a long line but it's worth it! Enjoy the pastrami sandwich and the cheesecake
Scott KleinbergOctober 28, 2016
Pastrami on rye with spicy mustard. The menu is HUGE but this is the best thing you can order.
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.
JBLJune 4, 2013
Nom 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!"
Elizabeth GardnerJuly 9, 2014
Ask 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.
TW ✈️👸🏻May 25, 2021
Split the sandwich with your friend... or get an amazing corned beef & hash omelet!!
A YNovember 19, 2016
We shared a pastrami Reuben and a slice of strawberry cheesecake and that was more than enough!
EgeAugust 12, 2014
World class delicatessen located in the heart of NYC. My advice is to try one of the specials

Carnegie Deli is on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade path! Tune in and catch the Lewis the Duck "On the Roll Again" parade float presented by Homewood Suites by Hilton.
Brianna LeafeDecember 18, 2012
Wayne is hilarious. Get him to sing you a birthday song! And of course pastrami, cole slaw and strawberry cheesecake for the win.
Hi There!January 13, 2014
Portions are HUGE! Split meals, unless you want a couple of days worth of leftovers. It's worth the $3 split plate fee.
Joshua SassMarch 15, 2016
Open faced roast beef was so good. Tender and tasty.
Lisa NJuly 1, 2013
Split 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.
Nicole AngelesSeptember 15, 2013
I 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!
Lina GonzoDecember 2, 2012
View from the Carnegie Deli line. It shows the crane falling off the roof, but it's tied down somehow.
Craig LMarch 21, 2012
Always good - always plenty. This place may be touristy but the locals love it too because it's awesome. Don't forget - cash only.
Glen GilmoreMarch 23, 2013
Been here 5+ times
Go for breakfast, too: coffee's hot. Platters are big. And you can still order your fav mega sandwich.
patricia brunsonJuly 29, 2011
Best 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.
Savory Sweet EatsApril 6, 2013
The Pastrami Reuben is as good as everyone says it is. Sandwich is HUGE, share it with another person (or 2).
Mark CortejosSeptember 10, 2013
Out-of-towners be advised, food servings are massive. Pay the split charge to share and save yourself some money (and pounds).
