The Legend Continues

A New York Deli Dynasty

  1. 1

    The Claremont Diner

    Verona, NJ

    Harold cut his teeth running one of New Jersey's most beloved diners, where comfort food excellence and a welcoming counter were the whole point.

  2. 2

    The Carnegie Deli

    New York, NY

    Then came the world-famous Carnegie Deli — towering sandwiches, cheesecake worth the trip, and portions that made the place a New York institution.

  3. 3

    Harold's Famous Deli

    Edison, NJ

    Harold combined the very best of both menus into one super restaurant. Same recipes, same generosity, same "Eat and Enjoy!" spirit — right here in Edison.

Word on the Street

People Can't Stop Talking

The pastrami itself is absolutely top-notch. Thinly sliced, more-than-adequately portioned, and tender. I can still taste it on my tongue.
Sean CurryThe Sandwich Enthusiast
We shared the large Pastrami Reuben between 3 people and there was enough for 2 sandwiches leftover… Both were delicious and service was excellent.
Bill K.TripAdvisor
This place never disappoints. The service is excellent and friendly. … Pickle bar is the best.
Phil B.TripAdvisor
It was HUGE and came with a ton of delicious home fries.
