Located at 213 west 53rd street, and just off
Broadway (right next to the
Ed Sullivan Theatre) is the Hello Deli. The deli’s fame came on
September 20th of 1993, when
David Letterman from the
Late Show invited the deli’s owner,
Rupert Jee onto the show as part of the “
meet the neighbors” segment.
The menu contains a variety of soups, sandwiches and salads, including
specialty sandwiches named after famous visitors to the deli, such as the
David Letterman,
Jill Letterman, and
Paul Shaffer sandwiches.
Some of the more famous visitors have included
Mary Tyler Moore,
Kelsey Grammer, and various cast members from the Late Show.
