Carnegie and Stage are widely described as overpriced and past their prime. Some folks insist that Katz's on Houston is great but Second Ave deli consistently gets the best reviews form the many, many posts I've read on the topic. I'm not much of a deli fan so this is all hearsay.

For what it's worth, Zagat rates Barney's Greengrass on Amsterdam betw 86-87 at the top because of their smoked fish (& warn about long brunch lines). After that Ess-a-Bagel (2 locations) ties with 2nd ave deli for #2, then Katz's, Carnegie & Stage in that order.

for what it's worth -- 2nd ave deli is gross. greasy and their rye bread tastes like it's been run over by a truck first. The best deli is Barney Greengrass. but don't look for friendly waitstaff or anthing like that. BTW, you will also find the BEST deli meats combined with the BEST bagels at ESS-A-BAGEL on 53rd and 3rd.

adding a strong first place vote for Second Avenue Deli, and an honorable mention to Artie's on the Upper West Side a new-ish place that captures
the old time flavor well, and is cheaper and much less hectic than Carnegie & Stage
