We found
Katz's Delicatessen on a lot of Things To Do in New York Lists, but aside from that, they are also known from the scene in
"When Harry Met Sally" where a lady wanted to have what Meg Ryan was having because she was faking an orgasm from the Pastrami sandwich goodness.
(Note to Self: I must watch When Harry Met Sally)

When you enter, you'll be given a paper ticket which you will give to the counter when you order.
 |
It's quite busy, but there are a lot of guys making sandwiches so the
wait is not long. |
 |
Before they make your sandwich, they give you
a slice of the pastrami to try. |
 |
We asked for Pastrami on Rye, easy on the mustard.
They weigh the sandwiches to make sure all are
equally overflowing. |
 |
This is what the Pastrami sandwich looks like.
It's served with a side order of pickles. |
 |
It's really to die for. But to induce an orgasm?
It probably depends on how hungry you are. hahaha. |

They also have really good French Fries that you order
at a different counter. |
 |
| Sofia ate a lot of the Pastrami and fries. |
 |
| Foodies unite. |
 |
| Pastrami heaven. |
 |
Only one branch in Israel and New York.
I hear they used to have a sign that said:
"Where Harry met Sally...hope you have what she had!" but I didn't see it. |
 |
| It's a busy place. |
 |
| Sofia was most impressed that Mickey Mouse ate here. |
 |
One the way out, you line up with your ticket to pay.
Cash Only with ATMs in the restaurant. |
Just for perspective, two sandwiches are more than enough for three (and a kid) to share. We still brought home half a sandwich and we were fairly hungry. Our bill for two sandwiches, a drink and french fries was more than US$40 (Php1,700) which may be quite expensive for a normal sandwich, but it's reasonable for the Best Pastrami Sandwich on Rye.
 |
| You can also buy Pastrami to Freeze, or they ship all over the US. |
 |
This definitely stays on our MUST EAT LIST
they next time we're back in New York. just saying. |
