Stage Door Delicatessen
4.5 (1,868)restaurant
A long-standing Lower Manhattan fixture known for its speedy counter service and juicy hot pastrami on rye.
Description






Near the World Trade Center, this deli prepares a massive à la carte menu out of a remarkably small kitchen. The options stretch from bagels and breakfast platters to pizza and diner classics, meaning the menu board can be a lot to navigate. It is a clean, straightforward setup rather than a premium dining experience, focusing instead on quick, simple food. Expect friendly staff and a budget-friendly bite in the Financial District.
