Proof it's a disaster in NYC: Sarge's Deli is temporarily closing [View all]

[jmowreader]

Sarge's is my favorite Manhattan restaurant. Its motto is "We Never Close." It was started by a retired NYPD officer who hated the fact that he couldn't get a decent meal when he was working nights, so he decided to start one of the first New York restaurants to operate 24/7.

Well...imagine my shock to find this in my inbox this morning:

We're taking a temporary break...
This is a tough message to write just as it was a tough (but necessary) decision to make.

Starting this Monday (April 6th) we'll be closing our doors for a little while to ensure the safety of our employees and our community.

If You're Nearby Our Deli On Monday...
We'll be donating what food we cannot keep. If you're on the front-lines, especially in the medical profession, first-responders, etc. please drop by our Deli on 3rd Avenue. Give Steve a ring on Monday prior to coming so everything can be prepped.

We will of course let you know when we plan to be back. Until then, please stay safe, sane, & healthy NYC.

We love this city and cannot wait to serve you our delicious food soon,
The Sarge's Deli Family
