You can go home again: Carnegie Deli reopens 10 years after its original closure

NEW YORK -- Carnegie Deli, one of New York City's most recognizable restaurants, has reopened nearly a decade after closing its doors.

The deli originally closed in 2016, a move that many customers viewed as the end of an era. The restaurant returned in a new space just steps from its original location.

Carnegie Deli first opened in 1937. In 1976, Milton Parker and his partners took over the business, helping establish its reputation over the following decades. Parker became known as the "Corned Beef and Pastrami Maven."

Sarri Harper, the company's current CEO and third-generation owner, said her mother announced the deli's closure in 2016 to focus on other business ventures.

Now, nearly 10 years later, the restaurant has reopened at the former Stage Deli location at 834 Seventh Ave.
