Carnegie Deli is reopening on Seventh Avenue in New York this month. It brings the deli’s popular menu and new menu items back to the neighborhood. It will also bring back its Wall of Fame, featuring photographs of famous guests.
Carnegie Deli Reopen to Seventh Avenue This Week
Carnegie Deli is reopening its doors on September 15. It will be located at 834 Seventh Avenue, New York City. The legendary deli is known for its oversized pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, cheesecake, and celebrity-filled Wall of Fame.
The deli will open in the former Stage Deli space. Stage Deli was once one of Carnegie Deli’s biggest rivals during New York’s famous “pastrami wars.” The space later became home to Roxy Delicatessen.
Carnegie Deli is now owned by Sarri Harper, the granddaughter of former owner Milton Parker. Harper continues the family business through nationwide shipping and appearances at venues and events. This includes Madison Square Garden, the U.S. Open, the Saratoga Race Course, and the Belmont Stakes.
“When the former Stage Deli space became available, it felt incredibly fitting,” said Harper. “There’s so much New York deli history in this space, and the opportunity to continue that legacy on Seventh Avenue made this feel like the right next chapter for Carnegie Deli.”
