After 79 years of serving customers at their familiar storefront on 7th Avenue in New York City, the owner of the legendary
Carnegie Deli announced that she would be
closing on December 31, 2016. The restaurant first opened its doors in 1937 right across the street from its namesake
Carnegie Hall primarily serving traditional New York Jewish deli fare with a side of attitude and has appeared in a number of films, including the Woody Allen film
Broadway Danny Rose. In an
interview with The New York Post, owner Marian Harper Levine about what led to the closure.
