CityGuy · 11-28-2007, 09:48 AM

The owner of the 2nd Avenue Deli, Jack Lebewohl, will not be running the new deli, but according to a spokesman for the family, Patrick Smith of Rubenstein Associates, "There is family involvement." It was Jack's 26-year-old son, Joshua Lebewohl, who applied for an on-premise liquor license transfer from the Community Board, which was approved in November. "Jack has other businesses he's pursuing right now," Mr. Smith said. A close family member who currently owns a bagel store may run day-to-day operations at the deli, and Joshua Lebewohl, who works full time as a lawyer, will likely remain involved in some capacity.

Yes it is a Thursday. I happen to know the family that owns 2nd Avenue Deli and I heard they are not going to the media until later. The owner wants the staff to get comfortable & he doesnt want them to be overwhelmed with people packing in for those delicious massive sandwhiches.

god bless! 2nd Avenue Deli is open once again after a 2 year layoff from skyrocketing rents.

By the way i went to the deli on saturday night...actually it was more like early sunday morning coming home from a bar. I stopped there for a bite to eat and i was too wasted to care about the heavy price of food, which i guess is a good thing! What i thought i should mention is how many cute chics were hanging out there! All the Murray Hill gals were drunk having a good time munching down those MASSIVE sandwhiches! May have to make the 2nd ave deli my new after bar eatery!
