  Speaker 2: the wall of fame pictures all over of famous people
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and celebrities who have graced the iconic deli just a

  Speaker 2: few steps away from where it originally started. Now, After
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: nearly a decade of only sending out products via e-commerce,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: that's how they were doing it. They were selling stuff

  Speaker 2: online with other things and putting their items in stands
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: at sporting arenas like MSG or at the US Open.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: When I was at the US Open, I saw the

  Speaker 2: Carnegie Deli there. They've finally got a permanent place in
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: New York to call home, just steps away from the

  Speaker 2: old one. Now, Carnegie CEO Sari Hunter, who is the

  Speaker 2: granddaughter of the original owner, says Carnegie's return is really
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: a credit to one thing.

• 1:44
  Speaker 3: you need your pastrami in Midtown.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And we're here.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we're dozens of people steadily lining up to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: get a table in the eatery that has about 110 seats.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: The sandwiches are huge, a testament to what patrons remember
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: standing in line with a pastrami sandwich. Sandwich?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Sandwich?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Running? A sandwich.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: A sandwich. But we're talking pastrami, so there's no mozzarella
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: in it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: What do you say, sandwich?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Sandwich.

• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Sandwich.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I don't want any sand in my witch. Anyway, it'll
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: run you about $ 29, you know, tax and tip if
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you're sitting down and stuff. So Michael was actually an
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: actor on the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel set when Carnegie Deli
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: did a pop-up in Soho eight years ago. He never
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: had it before that day, but he tells me he's
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: been thinking about what he had that day nearly a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: decade ago, and he had to return for more.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So when I heard they were reopening, I'm like, wow,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: just to have that cheesecake again and all those sandwiches,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and they've never missed a step. I love this place.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I grew up in New York. I live in North
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Carolina now.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I thought, that's where I'm going.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: We have to, I have to have Fristami on eye. Okay, well,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I've been to a carnival before. You saw it there
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: 50 years ago. I happened to be in town in
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: its opening, so I knew it. They had a place
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: in Las Vegas. We were at the Waterville Mirage. I've
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: been coming here for like 40 years.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: How does it taste compared to 10 years ago?

  Speaker 3: Spot on, spot on. It's delicious. We would have it
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: flown in. They sourced the ship and get out.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And I think I've saved the best for last because
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that gentleman... Marty from Pittsburgh, who's probably made headlines since
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: he was the first person there yesterday. Literally, that's what
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: they call him because he used to go four times
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a year to the Carnegie Deli from Pittsburgh, was the

  Speaker 2: first one there, won a lotto, was going to get
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: his picture on the Hall of Fame, brought his family
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: with him. But I had to ask him, how does
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: a guy from Pittsburgh... Find a place in the heart
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of New York City.

  Speaker 3: I worked for a company. The Javits Center had just opened,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: and the guy that brought me up here was training
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: me to be a buyer. When we were done working,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: he said, I'm going to take you to the Mecca
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: of Jewish delis. And we went in the place up
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the street, and it was amazing. I had the muscle
