Founded in 1937, the world famous Carnegie Deli was a true New York City landmark for tourists and locals alike. Situated in Midtown Manhattan adjacent to Carnegie Hall, the deli provided mile-high pastrami sandwiches to generations of New Yorkers, but closed down two years ago.

If you are missing the restaurant, now is your chance to get a taste of that beautiful pastrami once more. Amazon is bringing back the deli as a pop-up next week in order to promote season 2 of their show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel which both takes place and films in New York City. Whether you watch the show or not, head down to the pop-up and try some Carnegie Deli's famous food!
