“The oldest delicatessen in New York City (established 1888), Katz's is also the only place in town that still carves all its pastrami and corned beef by hand——and it makes a huge difference.”

"Slinging "piled-high" pastrami sandwiches and other "old-time Jewish deli" staples since 1888, this cash-only LES "legend" is generally "packed" with "tourists and locals alike"." Full review

"A New York City classic, this Jewish deli continues to serve the best pastrami and corned beef towering sandwiches."

"You can get table service, but the most authentic way to go here is to take a ticket at the door, which employees at the counter punch with the prices as you order things to eat." Full review
