About
In Carytown near South Colonial Avenue, you'll find Richmond's oldest restaurant, the New York Deli, open since 1929. Its enduring popularity comes from a menu spanning American sandwiches, breakfast, pizza, Mediterranean, and more, plus a full bar and late-night hours (until 2am Thursday through Saturday). The casual outdoor patio and free wifi make it an easy stop whether you're catching a movie at the Byrd Theater or shopping the neighborhood.
The deli holds a special place in Virginia LGBTQ history. When gay marriage was legalized in the state, the Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General celebrated here together. Regulars say service is friendly, and the Sunday brunch draws a lively crowd. Pro tip: the Sailor Sandwich is a house creation dating back to 1943. Walk-ins are fine, but parties may want to claim this listing to confirm reservations.

From the community
When same-sex marriage became legal in the state, the governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general all came here to commemorate the win. The food is good, and it's a perfect spot to visit before heading to the Byrd Theater or for lunch during a shopping trip in the area. Friendly service, nice for brunch, great for a date, and pleasant atmosphere.
