"This 24/7 Murray Hill staple (since 1964) maintains its across-the-board quality with a massive roster of traditional Jewish deli favorites including corned beef and pastrami sandwiches as big as your face."

Time Out

"Sarge’s offers all the classic deli sandwiches—corned beef, pastrami, reuben—plus The Monster. Billed as the city’s largest sandwich, it is indeed a towering stack of corned beef, pastrami, roast beef, turkey, salami, tomato, lettuce, cole slaw and Russian dressing on rye."

Laura Siciliano-Rosen

"In Midtown, Sarge's Delicatessen is a good bet."

Robert Sietsema

"Luckily, being in the New York City area, there are plenty of delis left. These are the best. Sarge's Deli: The pastrami is fine-grained and mild, and sandwiches arrive extravagantly stuffed. Tongue, rolled beef, hot brisket, and turkey pastrami are also worth considering."

Christina Izzo

"The best pastrami sandwiches in NYC: Sarge's Deli - Sarge’s is generally believed to be the city’s only 24-hour Jewish delicatessen. And it’s a really good one, at that."

Geneva Foodie

"It is huge and it is delicious! It comes with a very simple dressing that just takes this salad to the next level."

Lois Anzelowitz Levine

"Of all the delis in New York City, some are classic haunts that shouldn't be missed during a first or 50th visit to the Big Apple. Abe “Sarge” Katz opened his deli in 1964, and ever since, the restaurant has been showcasing its sandwiches (corned beef, pastrami, chopped liver) and homemade strawberry cheesecake. When you’re extra hungry, order a triple-decker sandwich piled high with meats, coleslaw and Russian dressing."

Ben Jay

"It prepares all of its piled-high pastrami on-site, and is also the only deli in the city open 24/7 every day, making it a very worthy end-of-the-night destination."

Julie Besonen

"The nonfatty, mild, crimson meat is shaved thin and stacked about three inches high on soft rye bread. Take a bite, and feel the tower crumble in your mouth—no excessive chewing necessary. Zesty mustard adds a kick."
