I ate at the Carnegie Deli in 1991 and ordered their Cheese Cake. You could feed a family of four on that dessert. Hell, you could feed a family of four dessert for a week on that cheese cake! It was heavenly! You could feed dinner to a family of four for a week on just one of their sandwiches.
This news makes me very sad. Going back to New York to eat at the Carnegie Deli again was on my bucket list.

I spent 4 years living at the Sofitel in Manhattan at 57th & 7th and on many occasion stopped and ate at the deli. New York has many great eateries, this was one of them.
Most Jewish food is not that great {only my opinion} but deli sandwiches are an exception.

Well, I don’t eat there so it doesn’t play a big part in my life. Apparently when it reopened a year ago, the sandwich prices were out of control. That might have hit the tourist trade very hard.
When the Carnegie Hall Cinema was still around - years ago - I used to pick up a sandwich to have at home after a movie. Long time ago.

I believe there are still 3-4 other locations that will stay open. But the original is closing, and the ones remaining may well not be family owned. I think I heard one of the locations is at one of the NYC Airports. $18 - $30 for a sandwich no matter how big seems more like a special occasion eatery, but NYC is loaded with money so what do I know. The place may well be closing just because of the Real Estate value of the location.

I'm gonna be in Manhattan next week.I've often eaten at the Stage Door Deli at 34th & 8th but never Carnegie or that other famous one...Katz’s I think it's called.I just might visit just so that I can say I did.

The market for a 4,000 calorie sandwich costing $25 is a pretty small one especially given the cost impact of the $15 minimum wage an a restaurant’s need for 20+ employees a shift. The next tenant will be a boutique with 4 employees a shift or a bank branch with 6 employees a shift.

Just checked their website and have now changed my mind.Twenty dollars for a corned beef sandwich???!!! I think I'll pass.

I always hate to see an establishment that has become an institution go. Seems like they’re all struggling except for the national chains, and even some of those are in trouble.
