Binghamton’s “Original” Pasquale’s Deli is Returning

People who were fans of Pasquale's Deli in Binghamton will be pleased to learn the place is about to reopen with the same menu they remember.

The popular business on the city's East Side shocked customers when it closed without advance notice 16 months ago.

A short statement on the Pasquale's Deli Facebook page said the closing was due to "some unexpected circumstances, staffing shortage and issues beyond our control."

Several months later, the place reopened as "Pasquale's Soup and Sandwich Shop." But the new operation didn't retain the same menu as the iconic neighborhood deli and closed after a short time.

The building at 180 Broad Avenue has been vacant in recent months. But Brent and Andrea Hannum of Endwell are preparing to bring the place back to life and operate it as the "original" Pasquale's Deli.

The Hannums contacted Perry Pasquale, who still owned the building and reached an agreement to bring the place back - complete with the old recipes that had been enjoyed by loyal customers for years.

They said they're excited as they prepare to reopen the deli, which will feature the original sign people remember.

Hours for the "new" Pasquale's Deli will be from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and from 6 a.m. to noon Saturdays. There also will be a special limited menu - including pizza - that will be available Fridays and Saturdays from 6 to 10 p.m.

The grand opening is scheduled for March 15.
