Food in Midtown West / Theater District

Reopening on September 15, 2026 at 834 Seventh Avenue, the address that held the Stage Deli until 2012. Sarri Harper, whose grandfather Milton Parker bought Carnegie in 1976, is the third generation to run it. Around 110 seats, walk-in only, with the wood panelling and the Wall of Fame restored.

Daily 11am to 10pm

Brick walls hung with posters from shows that flopped. Cast and crew eat here after curtain and the burger never left the menu.

Daily, noon to midnight. Later on weekends

The cart that started the New York halal platter, trading on this corner since 1990. Chicken or gyro over yellow rice, lettuce and pita, with the white sauce and a red sauce you should ask about before using. It opens at ten in the morning and is still going at four, so it covers a matinee and a late set equally well.

Daily, 10am to 4am. Until 5am on Friday and Saturday nights
