Katz's Delicatessen

Since 1888 — Lower East Side pastrami institution

Hand-carved pastrami on rye, dry-cured for 30 days. The room hasn't changed much in a century. Expect a line; it moves.

Tip the cutter a couple bucks — you'll get the juicier end of the brisket. Pastrami here is a whole other food group.

Expensive for a deli on paper, but you're sharing a sandwich with one or two people easily.

First time in NYC. Waited 20 minutes. Best sandwich of my life. Not a bit of hyperbole.
