Pickles Deli Downtown

[downtown2007]

It appears that Pickles Deli is opening in the old Teutenburg spot Downtown. There are signs in the windows advertising the deli is coming soon. Should be an attractive addition and its good to see that the spot vacated didnt sit for long.

Wheres the old Teutenburg spot?

Teutenberg's used to be at 7th & Olive, across from Macy's and diagonally across from the new "Fred's Cheapo Depot".

This is really fantastic news. It has been a long-standing complaint of mine that there isn't a decent deli downtown.

In our household, we are excited!

Pickles Deli to open in former Teutenberg’s space

I love the CWE location, so for all you DT folks, this is great news. Hope they can stay open for the dinner crowd and also last a long time.

Here's a picture of Pickles Deli's new location.

I'm really looking forward to this place and glad to see the space turn around so quickly!!
Downtown's been lacking a deli since my beloved 2 Cent Plain disappeared.

That said, I hope they offer Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda. (I sent them an email)
Seems like a minor point, but aside from loving it, it will give the deli instant 'street cred' among any East Coast transplants and visitors downtown. How many times have you heard New Yorkers scoff at the notion of delis in the flyover. A little thing like this would help STL's image. (okay, I'm waxing romantic.)

Even if they kept a 12-pack and it took two years to go through, still think it's worth the investment.

If Protzel's moved Downtown, that would be amazing.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable "we'll be open M-F, 11:00 AM-2:00 PM."

From the March Downtown Buzz newsletter:

Pickles Deli*701 Olive Street*314.241.2255
Construction is underway to open and expand a 2nd Pickles Deli location in Downtown St. Louis. Unlike the Central West End location, the 2600-square-foot downtown deli will be open for breakfast and house the restaurant’s growing catering division. They’re expected to open late Spring. Pickles Deli has been consistently voted #1 Delicatessen in St. Louis and Best of St. Louis by the Riverfront Times.

Bolds mine.

Any idea when this place will open?

[Touche]

The latest word: a week from today, May 19.

As for staying open late, I wouldn't count on it - the CWE lcoaiton closes at 7pm.

Kind of off topic but, what is located in the upper floors of the building?

^^I know there is an Accounting firm on one or more of the upper floors. I think the name is ADM. My friend just finished her internship there.
