In years past, we would have just headed for the Stage Deli then called it a night. It's been quite a while and we're out of touch. Any thoughts on where we might get a satisfying, aha we're in New York, not too huge meal without having to travel as far as, say, Chinatown?. Since Katz's closes so early (I've always liked my deli late at night), it's out of the running, though we will probably try to get there before we continue on to Europe Saturday. Thanks for any suggestions.

Saturday: 6PM to 12AM. Closed Sunday. The hours I listed might be off, since they're from the web... I would also call beforehand to make sure the kitchen isn't planning on closing early that night (due to lack of traffic), which can happen sometimes. This list is still fairly accurate: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/18/dining/18lbox.html With the exception of Talbot's push cart (gone) and Momofuku Ssam Bar now serves a light bar snack menu (pork buns, pickles, peanuts) Sun-Thurs from midnight-2am, no hot food.

(If you're too tired to go out, they deliver all over Manhattan.) The pastrami is first-rate! A different style from Katz's but, imo, just as delicious. Be sure to ask for it fatty. Very good coleslaw as well. The wait staff will give you that "Aha! We're in NY!" feeling you crave. Not that they're in any way surly -- just a bunch of NY characters. :) http://www.menupages.com/restaurants/sarges/ Sun Sep 27 17:06:26 -0700 2009 5061219 13867 RGR
