The Carnegie Deli, a New York City institution, officially closed in 2016 after nearly 80 years in business. Struggles with financial issues and management challenges, including labor disputes and a significant renovation, contributed to its closure. Originally opened in 1937, its location attracted performers and musicians due to its proximity to Carnegie Hall. Under new ownership since 1976, the deli improved its offerings, gaining fame for its pastrami and corned beef. Despite its iconic status, operational difficulties ultimately led to its demise.
