The Second Avenue Deli: Reopening to Close an Old Wound

Found it! December 17th...I can't wait, I am so happy! I have never found anyone who makes kreplach like them. I stock my freezer with them, put 3 or 4 in aluminum foil so I can just throw them in soup. Their chicken soup is the absolute best (and I never order it anywhere but this is amazing). Their corned beef sandwiches are also fantastic, never dry. Great message board, thanks for the opportunity to post!

Does anyone know the date they're opening? Please post if so! I thought they were opening in November and can't find any info online. Thanks!

Shortly before they closed, I went to buy chopped liver for a party. The man who greeted me (tall, handsome, don't know his name) would NOT sell it to me for the next day because it's so perishable! He actually said he would meet me with a fresh batch in the morning in my neighborhood because I couldn't get to the deli the next day. Turns out I didn't do this, didn't want to put him out but this was the most honest treatment I ever received from anyone! The item I bought most was the kreplach and I hope they will use the same recipe. I loved their corned beef of course, but if the owners are reading this, PLEASE make the kreplach like before. Nobody makes them this good and that's all I am looking forward to. Thanks!

The Second Avenue Deli: Reopening to Close an Old Wound

Last xmas/hanukah-I was one of only two customers. I needed to buy my Dad his birthday present: a pound each of corned beef, pastrami and chopped liver and a couple of latkes. There was this guy ahead of me who could've been the comedian Jon Lovitz's twin except he was like 400lbs and he was ordering his weight in cold cuts. Rather than be annoyed at the wait, I lucked out in that he tipped the countermen $50 and they proceeded to lay out samples of everything for him...and me! The deli closed soon thereafter but I'll always treasure that moment.
