NEW YORK -- One of the most famous delis in New York City may have served its last corned beef on rye.

The owner of the 2nd Avenue Deli said he closed the restaurant Sunday after a lease dispute with the building's new owners.


"My current rent is $24,000 a month for 2,800 square feet," Jack Lebewohl told The New York Times. "They want $33,000. I can't afford that."

  • If the 2nd Ave Deli closes, NYC doesn't deserve to exist. NYC has finally eaten itself.
