Recommended by my cousin, Katz’s Deli, located in the Lower East Side, is best known for its stacked pastrami sandwiches and for hosting the scene in “When Harry Met Sally” where Sally fakes an…well, you know.
In any case, the inside of the restaurant supports a unique setup. On the right is a counter where a row of workers will take your order and simultaneously cut up your choice of pastrami, corned beef, etc. You can also sample the meat (mine was still warm when it was sliced and given to me). You’ll then be given a tab with your order and the price written on it. There’s a man at the register near the exit who will take the tab and ring the order up on your way out.
I had a pastrami sandwich. The meat was extremely tender. Though I’m a fan of dishes with more complex flavors, the simple pastrami sandwich at Katz’s wasn’t entirely unsatisfactory. If you’re craving something meaty, it’ll hit the spot. I’ve also heard good things about the hot dogs.
