Carnegie Deli Opens on Seventh Avenue in New York City on March 11, 1937

The Orgel family has just opened their deli for the neighborhood. The Pastrami and Corned Beef sandwiches are larger than any deli I have ever been to in the city. The sandwich prices are fair; 50 cents. The pickles are crisp and sour, the coleslaw is fresh, and the chopped liver is delicious. Carnegie Deli is featuring recipes from Eastern Europe. There are 40 seats and a small counter.
