I went to the new location late on a Saturday night and I was literally the only person in the place for about 30 minutes until another party was seated. I'm not sure if the dead atmosphere contributed to my overall impression of the food, which was good, but it's just not the same as the old location. It felt kind of sad to be honest. The matzoh ball soup is still tops in the city, however. The complimentary pickles and slaw as good as ever. I'm curious to see if in the long run this new location will have a permanent effect on this great New York institution. Even so, the Second Avenue Deli is still one of the top 5 New York Delis, though I used to rank it overall number one.
Pros: Still great matzoh ball soup; still great pickles and slaw bowl
Cons: The new location has taken something away from this great New York institution
