If you've seen When Harry Met Sally
, you've seen Katz's Deli. We didn't notice the apple pie on the menu, but according to Anthony Bourdain, you go there for the best pastrami sandwich in New York City.

Adorned with celebrity photos from over the last 25+ years, the walls of the delicatessen have that shameless self-promotional look that you come to expect from classic diners.
In true NYC deli fashion, we were greeted with a plate of pickles:
In addition to the variety of menu items for you to choose from (salami, pastrami, roast beef, corned beef, etc...), you're also able to get some freshly sliced deli meat to go... or even send some overseas!
After overdosing on knishes in Philadelphia, we thought we would try another staple of Jewish-American cuisine: matzah ball soup. We wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Pretty good stuff.
We devoured the sandwich that we ordered before there was a chance to photograph it. You don't go to Katz's for the presentation though. It's basically just the meat between two normal slices of bread. Nothing fancy. The juicy, delicious meat is this deli's raison d'être.

"Hope you have what she had" - haha, had to laugh out loud badly just now :) My colleague looked at me a bit bewildered!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Viele Gruesse, Kristina
LOVE that movie as much as classic NYC delis. So jealous of your meal!
ReplyDeleteoh boy. Please tell me there weren't any spontaneous orgasms going on?
ReplyDeleteTruly one of my favorite places to eat. I'm wishing I wasn't all the way in CA because my mouth is watering now :)
ReplyDeleteNever mind the soup or the salami. I saw the pickles and now I'm craving pickles!! I guess I'm easily suggestible!! ^_^
ReplyDeletethis is SO cool, i want to watch that movie now! ;) love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your tour through NYC's best eateries. Have you tried Cafe Habana in Nolita yet? Their corn is A-MAZING!!
ReplyDeleteI second Habana but I also throw in Ipuddo for the insane ramen. Some people don't like La Esquina but I do. Potato chorizo taco and elote. Yummmmmmmm.
ReplyDelete{lovely little things} & AES - Thanks for the tips, guys! We're adding those to our list for when we go back to NYC. (We've left and are actually just reeeeeally behind in posting)
ReplyDeleteInsightful! I will surely go here on my NY trip!
