Broadway Danny Rose: Highlights

The story of a hapless talent manager named Danny Rose is told at New York’s Carnegie Deli in flashback, as an anecdote shared amongst a group of comedians over lunch. The eponymous hero of the film was played by Woody Allen himself.

History: Highlights

The Carnegie Deli was the favourite hangout of comedian Henny Youngman, and Adam Sandler included a reference to the deli in “The Chanukah Song” in 1996. The walls of the deli are nearly completely covered with autographed pictures of celebrities who have eaten there.

The restaurant serves pastrami, corned beef and other sandwiches containing at least half kilo of meat, as well as traditional Jewish fare, such as matzoh ball soup, potato pancakes, chopped chicken livers and smoked salmon. The restaurant also offers other, non-Jewish (or non-kosher, anyway) foods such as ham, sausage and bacon.
