Short and simple review for this place:
Pros:
Massive portions (how do NY people eat this much?!)
Open till 2am
Friendly service
You don't have to fly to New York and wait in that insane line at the real location.
Cons:
Prices are stiff.
They charge you extra for wanting to share one of the mammoth thing they call sandwiches
Like any other true fattie we ordered the Woody Allen which was 2lbs of pastrami and corned beef on 2 tiny slices of bread. I'm not insane and I do appreciate arterial function so me and the woman split this bad boy. Be warned if you are looking for taste, this is not the place for you. The meat was dry and flavorless and had to be drowned in deli mustard in order to be palatable. I have been to NY and have had my mind blown by a pastrami tower at Broadway Deli so I know that this isn't how NY sandwiches are supposed to be like. All in and all, we plugged away at it and doing so killed the entire bottle of deli mustard.
We can proclaim that we came and conquered "The Woody."
I categorize this one to the "been there ate that" category.So if playing Man vs Food is your thing then add Carnegie Deli to your list. If you still have a working mouth full of taste buds and enjoy using them, this place is a miss...
