Sarge's Deli Gutted By Fire
Last night, Sarge's Deli in Murray Hill was gutted by fire. Eater reports: "The fire spread quickly through the ventilation ducts of the building into the apartments above the restaurant. Over 150 firefighters rushed to the scene." NYPD Deputy Chief Thomas McKavanagh told the Daily News, "The restaurant sustained some severe damage and will not be open for a while."
Along with Katz's, Stage and Carnegie, Sarge's is one of the oldest and most authentic Jewish delis in Manhattan. I profiled the place in this 2010 "Who Goes There?" column.

A jewel of a NYC deli. In the 80's when we could afford it, we used to stay at the Shelburne (double $44/night) on Lex & 37th. Sarge's was right around the corner. I hope that they reopen so that one day we can again have some of their hot pastrami on rye.
