Dave and I spent our first day in New York on the Lower East Side with his parents experencing food and culture. New York is a haven for good food at just about any price, and it's hard to find a deli that tops the sandwich shops in the City. When on the East Side, you've got to go to Katz's. It's an experience that's been around on the corner of Houston and Ludlow since 1888, and the store proclaims they are the oldest and best deli in the City. Dave and I have been there before, and you can't get a better pastrami any where else. With your sandwich, you get their homemade pickles which definitely put the storebought kind to shame. One of my friends who works nearby says it smells like a heart attack from the street. It probably does, so what does that mean? People are lined up and packed up to the counter to order their own heart attack on a plate. If you go, avoid the lunch crowd!
For you movie buffs out there, this is also where THAT scene from "When Harry met Sally..." was filmed, and you can sit at the same place Sally did when she had her sandwich and um, ...experience. Happy Eating!
