Sarge's Deli is back in action on Third Avenue

Given the number of old-time NYC restaurants going down… we're pleased to see EVG favorite Sarge's Deli reopen yesterday after a devastating fire wiped them out of business in November 2012.

Per Fork in the Road:

This 50-year-old neighborhood institution has less name recognition than Katz's and Second Avenue Deli, but insiders know the pastrami here is just as moist — and the wait times are half as long.

Eater's Nick Solares paid a visit yesterday… fourth-generation owner Andrew Wengrover promised that things were the same (however maybe shinier)…

Despite the fire, they were apparently able to keep some of their Wall of Fame intact (Larry Storch!)

The 24-hour Jewish deli opened in 1963 at 548 Third Ave. between East 36th Street and East 37th Street…
