Pastrami at Katz’s Deli, Lower East Side, Manhattan
I had my first pastrami sandwich tonight… at Katz’s Deli, of course.. they’re world famous for their pastrami. My thoughts? The first 6 bites are really delicious and after that it gets to be a little too much. I’m lucky that I split a sandwich with Masako… I’d never be able to finish! We also all shared a sweet potato knish that was really good.. and .. uh.. sweet. Almost like a dessert. Katz’s has this strange ticketing system where you get a ticket when you enter the restaurant and when you leave you pay. I heard that if you lose your ticket you have to pay them $50 because they would never know what/if you ordered. After I ordered my sandwich the sandwich maker was writing my charge on my ticket and as he wrote it he said “I should write my phone number on here!”. I was like “yeh.. um… NO!”
The title of this post is in reference to the classic scene in When Harry Met Sally where Meg Ryan “faked-it” at Katz’s Deli.
Shell- you have to be quicker. When that happens again, and it will, you have to say, “Why, do you want my boyfriend, T-BONE, to call you?”
“T-Bone? George, from now on you’re ‘COCOA’!”
great seinfeld reference! i always think of t-bone burnett when i hear someone say “t-bone”
Whenever I go to NYC, my first stop is always the Carnegie Deli for a metric ton of corned beef. Best corned beef ever!
It looks as if at Katz a little bit of pastrami, goes along way! As far as animal fat content that is. But all and all, from the pic it does look very appetizing I must say.
I wonder how many calls Pastrami Suave gets
Pastrami Suave?
Not to be a pain, but Katz’s Deli is in the Lower East Side. There’s a mural painted on it’s side that proudly proclaims it’s residency.
mark, i fixed it.. i was debating with myself whether it was east village or LES
actually, they have a sign on the ceiling that says something like “this is where harry met sally.” i should have pointed that out to you. my b.
tien – i saw the sign. it looks like this.
yes, that is said sign.
What table number is it? I’m trying to organize a scavenger hunt.
I’m not sure exactly what table it is, sorry.

It may not to you, but the picture I found here makes me soooo hungry. Where, oh where, can such a thing be found around these parts?…
