Metro Deli Shutters Diner on Scarsdale Avenue

Yet another staple of the Scarsdale restaurant scene has unexpectedly closed their doors. You’ll no longer be able to grab coffee, a wrap, a chopped salad or a grilled cheese at Metro Deli on Scarsdale Avenue. The restaurant, which has been open as a diner for 22 years is now dark, and a sign on the door says,

Dear Metro Customers
It’s been a pleasure and privilege to have served you and your families for the past 22 years. We are so grateful for your support, friendships and memories.

We look forward to seeing you at our sister restaurant
Metro Deli Restaurant and Catering
4 Palmer Avenue (Five Corners)
(914) 472-4760

We spoke to Metro Deli owner Gus Catechis who has been operating the restaurant with his partner Stavros Maravegias, along with Metro Deli on Palmer Avenue. Asked why they were shutting down he said, “It’s been 22 years and we’re tired. We want to concentrate on one location.”

The property itself is owned by Rush Wilson, but the two partners sold the assets of the business to a local resident who plans to open a French restaurant on the Scarsdale Avenue site.

Did Covid affect their decision? He responded, “Those were dog years. But Covid did not affect our decision. We made a deal.”

So if you’re looking for a place to meet a friend for coffee, eggs, a sandwich and more, Gus will be happy to welcome you at the Metro Deli on Palmer Avenue.
