Possibly my favorite sign in New York. I like to visit it on occasion. The Carnegie Deli, 55th and 7th. Too touristy most of the time. I first went there when I was 11 years old and ate a corned-beef sandwich that was literally – literally – taller than my head. I’ve never forgotten it.

Is the Stage deli still there? I have not been to NY in 20 years, but we stayed on 44th Street and walked to the deli for breakfast. Good times!
Debra – yup, it’s still there doing whopping business!! I love it when things don’t change. :)
Try the Danny Rose on corn rye! It’s hilarious!
