Carnegie Deli

There was good news and bad news. The bad news is that last night, soon after I finally got home about 8:00 in the evening (an early night for me), my Blackberry started buzzing with a message telling me I was needed to work on a big project all day today (I probably would have been disappointed, but Wife had to work all day as well).

The good news is that the client I was working on bought me dinner from Carnegie Deli. Carnegie Deli is known for their outstanding sandwiches, but they are also known for their ridiculous prices (it's a bit of a tourist trap).

Soon after Wife and I arrived in New York, we walked by Carnegie Deli as an angry patron was screaming about how he just paid $45 for a burger, fries, and soda. That was the last time Wife and I contemplated eating there. Well, today my client bought me one of their corned beef sandwiches (one of the things they are particularly they are famous for).

I thought the tales of the size of their sandwiches were exaggerated - they are not.

For those concerned with the cost, this sandwich only set the client back a mere $14.95.
