Last visit 7/12/07
The Carnegie Deli is well known for it's huge deli sandwiches, in particular corned beef and pastrami. I had my first corned beef sandwich at Carnegie Deli several years ago so on my 2nd visit to NYC I made a repeat visit when there by myself and a 3rd visit when I was there with my in laws in 2007. The sandwiches are huge, big enough for two people to share, and expensive at around $13.
I've eaten in twice but the 1st time we got it to go and took it back to our hotel, you're also very close to Central Park and could easily take it and have a picnic and avoid all those silly sharing and per person limits. There's nothing particularly exciting about eating inside the restaurant so I'd recommend getting it to go if it's an option.
My most recent visit was with 3 kids and 3 adults. Now the kids would never be able to finish a sandwich on their own so they split one and my sister in law and me split a corned beef and we got hit with 2 $3 sharing charges which is clearly stated on the menu but annoying nevertheless. They also state that there is a minimum $12.50 charge per person, our bill was slightly less than that but after the included service and tax our bill was $100! If the food wasn't good, I'd probably move this tip over to tourist traps, I could get a similar meal in Chicago for about 1/2 the price and no attitude...
The corned beef and pastrami are both excellent.
I was going to try a piece of cheesecake but the portions of that are also enormous, enough for a whole family to share. Leave a Comment

 Carnegie Deli by Jehcekah
The Corned Beef melts in your mouth. The Cheesecake is the best in the land. And they give you free pickles!!
The sandwiches are huge! We shared the Corned Beef (an extra $3.00 is charged when sharing) and a piece of Cheesecake. We were very happily full when we left! The food was excellent!
The walls are decorated with photos of famous deli visitors and old pictures of the deli. It is a small restaurant, but there is usually no problem in getting a table. We were seated immediately and served very quickly.
Every trip to New York needs to include a Carnegie Deli sandwich! Leave a Comment

This is undoubtedly the best Deli that I have visted .We went at about 11:00 am which seemed to be the right time just between breakfast and lunch.There were no queues and we got a table straight away. When we left at about 12:45 there was a queue down the street.
The menu is extensive and the portions are mega. I had a Woody Allen sandwich which was so big it had to be held together with a skewer .It was literally bursting with corned beef.Also you have to try the Strawberry Cheesecake it was about 4 inches tall .Definately not the place for a weightwatchers meeting Theme: DeliPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 854 7th Avenue (at 55th Street)Phone: 212-757-2245Directions: Midtown Manhattan/Theater District opposite Carnegie HallWebsite: http://www.carnegiedeli.com

 The long waiting line at the
Carnegie Deli by DutchnatasjaLeave a Comment

It was just to say we where there. We didnt like it so much, ok that is a big sandwich but with ordinary taste.You can share the sandwich but you have to pay an extra for this. The service was terrible, the waiter wants you to eat fast and leave fast and the place is very noisy. We tryed the Wood Allen sandwich with pastrami but it was not what we were waiting for.
The only think we loved was the cheese cake, the better one I taste in my life, its a worth visit just because of the cheese cake.
My favorite dish was the desert, a cheese cake with strawberry
