2nd Avenue Deli re-opening

[rossnyc]

It's official 2nd Avenue Deli is re-opening on monday 12/17 at 162 E 33rd St (between 3rd and Lex). The store had been boarded up for a few months now while it was under construction, but today as I walked by there was a waiter outside with an Apron on. I asked about the opening and he not only told me it was monday he took me inside to look around. They were having a test run with friends and family tonight so a lot of waiters and people were hanging out. It has a full bar and while there isn't as much seating as they had at their last location, it is all brand new and looks real nice.

I am looking forward to my first pastrami on monday

I was so sad when the original one closed--we'd been going there for years. Now I can't wait to try the new one!

Via eater, lots of great interior pics on Gothamist: http://gothamist.com/2007/12/13/2nd_a...

I'm guessing that on Monday, the line to get in is going to surpass anything we've seen at the Shake Shack! lol

There was a nice, repeating piece on the opening on WINS radio today. Clearly they're getting the word out to those of us who still crave artery clogging deli.
