Main Line Deli Closes Temporarily After Water Main Break, Flooding

MERION STATION, PA — A New York-style deli that has been operating for more than 65 years on the Main Line has temporarily closed, after a water main break flooded the restaurant's basement.

Hymie's Delicatessen in Merion Station announced it will be closed until at least Feb. 26, as more than five feet of water entered the basement at 342 Montgomery Ave.

Hymie's originally posted about the main break on Jan. 10, showing water gushing out onto the street, and later announced they would close for a time.

"We are working very hard to reopen ASAP and we are grateful for all our loyal customers," the post said.

Hymie's has been around since 1955 and offers all-day breakfast, as well as a number of sandwiches including their popular Reubens as well as hoagies, cheesesteaks, salads, and burgers.

Last year, Mashed.com listed Hymie's Deli as one of the best places in the country to get a Reuben sandwich.
