Sarge's Deli
sarge's Delicatessen & Diner, open 24/7, was opened in 1964, in Murray Hill, Manhattan by Abe Katz,[1] a retired New York City Police Department sergeant.[1][2] Eater NY named it one of the 19 Vital Jewish Delis in NYC.[3]
Sarge’s has New York City’s largest sandwich, called The Monster. It is made with pastrami, corned beef, roast beef, roast turkey, salami, lettuce, tomatoes, and Russian dressing.[4] It is one of only a few delis in the United States that makes rolled beef.[1][5]
After a 2012 three alarm grease fire,[6] they were closed until 2014 for 15 months. Andrew Wengrover, a fourth generation owner, oversaw the reopening.[7]
Sarge's appeared in Season 8 and Season 11 of the Food Paradise television series, which aired in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The restaurant also served as the filming location for the 1990 documentary film My Dinner With Abbie starring Abbie Hoffman.[8]
