What People Are Saying About Carnegie Delicatessen & Rstrnt

The Scene
This is Woody Allen's New York, a borscht-belt scene of wisecracking waiters, cramped convivial tables and a din just short of Times Square on a Saturday night. Head shots of movie stars are the decor, and undersized tables are tightly arranged.
The Food
The Carnegie is renowned for its pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, which are home-cured and deliciously briny, rich, but not fatty, and thicker than a Russian novel. Lean, tender beef brisket also should not be missed. Other favorites are the chubby cheese blintzes with sour cream, succulent baked short ribs with mashed potatoes, Nova Scotia salmon omelette and stuffed cabbage with sweet and sour sauce. The cheesecake will bring you to your knees.

Although the desserts are good, they're not the best. A bit overpriced, so it doesn't make up for the terrible serivce. All of the servers, managers and hostesses are extremely rude!

First place I go to eat whenever I'm in New York is the Carnegie Deli. Oh sure, there are lots of competition for the best deli in the City, but this place is a tradition for me! I've been comforted by their cold borscht pepto-bismol soup, oooh, yum! I looove their pile-high corned beef on rye. And their cheesecake, why I have one in my fridge right now (a friend just came back from New York). Anyhoo, it might be very touristy, but still great fun, and a mainstay!

One of the worst experiences. The service was rude (both server and "manager") Paid $80 +tip for 2 sandwiches 2 sodas and a cheesecake. Turns out there is a $3 fee for sharing (same quantity) So a $27.00 sandwich turns out to be $30 ($3 for sharing) There is also a $12.50 minimum charge No credit cards CASH ONLY mhmhmhmh makes me wonder... I can not think on one reason i would ever go back.
