I've been here a couple of times for lunch and can't get enough, I love meaty sandwhiches, and this is the place to come for that. The portions are huge and it is pricey, but you do get what you pay for, sometimes I'll even walk out with leftovers from my sandwhich, because its so huge! The bread tatses fresh and the meat too, Its just an overall great place and I would recommend it to anybody.

If you are hungry, a meal at the Stage Deli is not to be missed. This is classic NY deli food. But - the portions are enormous. I had matzoh brie and kasha varnishas - it was probably 2000 calories of carbo loaded happiness. If you are a pastrami or corned beef guy (or gal), your sandwich will be four inches tall. Awesome.

In spite of the countless places that call themselves a "deli", very few can claim authenticity. Stage Deli is one of those places. When I have my chicken noodle soup here or a roast beef sandwich on rye, I'm reminded that the word "deli" connotes a certain kind of unique flavor. The meat isn't just Boar's Head in a refrigerator case and a sandwich isn't just ingredients slapped in between two slices of bread. It's love on a plate, with a side of sour pickles, from people who care about maintaining the tradition of true deli-style food. For example, on my last visit, my water lectured me good-naturedly about how my request for mayonnaise would ruin the purity of a good sandwich. Now that's devotion.

A few blocks over from the hotel we stayed at in NYC is the Stage deli. This is a not to be missed eatery if you stay in the City. I ordered the pastrami on rye with mustard. I also ordered extra meat. What came out was enough to feed a family. It was huge. There are a variety of the usual deli style sandwiches as well as speciality sandwiches named after famous people. You will have fun reading the menu and picturing the famous and the stars ordering their favorite sandwich. This is not cheap, but neither is the product that you get. This is excellent top quality food served just right. And lots of it. A traditional New York experience, and a fine place to chow down and have a good time.
