Katz's Delicatessen

Frommer's Review

Arguably the city's best Jewish deli. The motto is "There's Nothing More New York Than Katz's," and it's spot-on. Founded in 1888, this cavernous, brightly lit place is suitably Noo Yawk, with dill pickles, Dr. Brown's cream soda, and old-world attitude to spare. Take the ticket they give you when you come in and either head for the cafeteria-style line, or seat yourself in the "waiter service" area. But one word of caution: Katz's has become a serious tourist destination so if you see a big tour bus parked in front, you might be in for a long wait. (And remember to tip your carver, who gives you a plate with a sample of the succulent pastrami or corned beef as he prepares your sandwich!)
