Carnegie Deli: Attack of the Monster Reuben (Matzo Ball Soup)

Yes, it’s a Manhattan tourist attraction, but Carnegie Deli is still one of my favorite places to eat in New York City. Their monstrous reuben sandwich is simply glorious — it’s served open face, with the bread on the bottom of the plate, more than a pound of corned beef on top of that, a layer of sauerkraut over it, and the whole thing smothered with cheese. It’s a mountainous sandwich that kind of looks like Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs. Here are a bunch of photos of the reuben, the matzo ball soup, and a roast beef sandwich.
