We stayed at the Sheraton on 7th, and breakfasted twice at the deli. The first morning, our server was absolutely right on target Jewish woman who complained, told me to learn to drink my coffee black, and told my husband, before he even ordered, "I ...

Pros: HUGE servings, excellent food
Cons: Can be a bit of a wait during busy times

I've been to the Stage several times, both for dining in and take-out. I've also been to their competitor up the street, but I find myself returning to the Stage for my deli "fix" when I'm in the city.

One thing to prepare for is a wait. If...

Cons: non-existent ambiance,basic settings

My favorite is pastrami on a roll. I can get really full on this delightful no presentation, basic, eat & get out restaurant. The desserts are mountainous, the soups are like vats, and the pickles are TART. I can go to Stage and take out a sandwich...

In 1990, I won a FREE trip to New York, which my husband and I used as our honeymoon (6 months late). A friend that I worked with told me that no matter what we did in New York, we had to eat at STAGE DELI. I promised we would. Well, after arriving in...

Pros: Located in the heart of New York, great food, reasonable prices, hip city atmosphere
Cons: Bringing those not ready for the more than generous portions

I doesn't get more New York than this, baby. Not more than a ten minute walk away from David Letterman's Ed Sullivan Theater lies New York's finest delicatessen. Believe me, you won't miss it, there will always be a line outside. New Yorkers and...

Pros: NYC Deli at its best!
Cons: Price and close quarters

The Stage Deli is the epitome of New York deli cuisine. The food is excellent and the portions prov ...

Pros: Great food, big portions, good service.
Cons: A bit pricier than the Roxy, and slightly smaller portions.

As a lover of Delicatessians and Deli food this is my all time favorite Deli. It brings back to mind what must have been the atmosphere of New York over the years, with a quality and taste of foods from by gone years.
While many times...

Pros: Great service and friendly atmosphere..
Cons: Maybe a little cramped - but it doesn't matter..

Stage Deli is a MUST if you are going to NYC. I recall last year, my family and I were standing outside waiting to get in (it being a popular restaurant and and all). A waitress brought us small cups of chicken soup. They didn't have to do that, but...
