My fave deli for BIG pastrami or corned beef sandwiches. Two can get by on one sandwich they are so huge.Per the waitstaff (I agree): you shouldn't take it with you ... in other words, your sandwich is not nearly as good when reheated later, try & eat it all before you leave.Everyone has their fave NY Deli: Carnegie, 2nd Ave, etc. Katz is my favorite for both taste and location, and they stay open late (after 2am on weekends, see website). The sign out front says: - "Katz's, that's all" per Alan Dell the owner: “ This sign originated when Benny Katz hired the signmaker to make the sign,” Mr. Dell said. “The signmaker asked, ‘Well, what exactly do you want to have it say?’ and Benny said to the signmaker, ‘Katz’s, that’s all.’ Sure enough he painted that on the sign! ”Here's a good descriptive & current NYTimes piece on the Katz experience. NOTE: TICKET ALERT - when you enter they give you a "theater ticket" that you must redeem when you exit ( they do this to minimize theft ). Hang on to your little yellow 'theater' admission ticket, or you will have some esplanin' to do w/ the security guard on the way out.
Hot Pastrami w mustard & horseradish. If I shoot the moon, I start with chopped liver, a pastrami & egg salad sandwich, then cheesecake with either cherry or strawberry topping. About $19 bucks for a sandwich & rootbeer (that's "tableservice" - it's a couple bucks cheaper if you get it yourself at the counter and sit at a middle table) Probably $30+ for all the above, but it's enough for 2 and imo some of the best you'll ever eat. Ess gesunt! Here's the menu Leave a Comment Theme: DeliPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 205 E.

On New York City's Lower East Side, where Jewish pushcart peddlers once hawked their wares, is the deli to end all delis. You don't go to Katz's Delicatessen for elegant décor. You don't go for the service. You definitely don't go if you're on a diet. But if you're seeking authentic Jewish deli food that is truly New York, look no farther -- corned beef, pastrami, salami, and Nova Scotia Lox. Katz's operates on an unusual system. To enter the restaurant, you pass through a turnstile and take what looks like a raffle ticket from the cashier. The food is served cafeteria-style; you stand in line and give your ticket to the cooks when you order. They'll punch the ticket and hand over your food. When you're finished, just hand your ticket to the cashier and he'll ring up the bill. The atmosphere at Katz's Delicatessen is bright, bustling and no-nonsense. The décor is old fashioned without being quaint: salamis hanging from the ceiling, promotional food signs (circa 1960, judging from the color scheme) and autographed pictures of celebrities. There are letters of appreciation from several U.S. Presidents who stopped by for a nosh when they were in the neighborhood. And John Glenn requested Katz's Pastrami before his ride on the Space Shuttle. A bit of trivia for movie buffs: Katz's Delicatessen is where they filmed the famous deli scene in When Harry Met Sally ("I'll have what she's having!)
