New York City's Most Iconic Foods—and Where to Get Them | Condé Nast Traveler

"As a frequent patron of Jewish delis and a corned beef sandwich girl to my core, the fact that my go-to order at Katz’s is pastrami truly says something. Yes, the line is long, and yes it is filled with tourists, but there’s a reason so many people want to eat here (and it’s not just because of its presence in When Harry Met Sally). It’s where my sister and I go when we need a little taste of the Jewish delis we grew up on, and the sandwich is particularly well paired with a bowl of matzo ball soup. The pastrami itself is thick cut and perfectly seasoned—best eaten right there in the restaurant when it’s hot, but almost as delicious the next day for leftovers (just be sure to store the rye bread and meat separately if you don’t want the bread to get soggy)." - Kat Chen
