Served pancake-style, the kosher salami is nicely-browned before getting mixed with the eggs.  The potatoes on the side are actually pretty good, too.

Blintzes are available filled with cheese, strawberry, blueberry, or cherry. These are plain cheese, served with sour cream. Apple sauce is the other available condiment.

Given its astronomical price, the Carnegie's pastrami sandwich ought to be tall. But this is ridiculous. There is enough meat here for three sandwiches. In fact, it is possible to get extra bread, but the management will charge extra if you share a sandwich with your tablemate. Price and logistics aside, this is one great pastrami sandwich.

Soup is served the traditional deli way. A bowl is set down, then the waiter decants the soup from a silver pitcher into the bowl. This is the best matzoh ball soup we've ever had in a restaurant: robust, salty broth and matzoh balls as tender as a sigh.

The Carnegie's good corned beef and pastrami goes into the mixed deli omelet.  We wish the bagels were better, though.

Nova, eggs, and onions is a brilliant combination of sweet, salty, and mellow, and is commonly found on Jewish-style deli/smoked fish menus.

Pastrami piled high on rye - extra bread is a must for this sandwich.

A curtain of drying salamis hangs in front of the deli counter.  If you've never tried a sandwich made from dried Kosher salami, we highly recommend that you try one.  Very different from Italian-style Genoa and hard salamis.

No matter where you sit in the Carnegie Deli, you will be surrounded by pictures of celebrities. Above our table, NBC's Al Roker was looking down with a big smile.

There are many delis in this neighborhood, but the Carnegie is the daddy of 'em all.
