Deli · Lower East Side

"Katz’s has stood on the corner of East Houston and Ludlow streets since 1888, and the pastrami alone is a New York institution. The expansive, cafeteria-style dining room is almost always bustling, and diners have to know how to navigate the system. Get in line, remember to tip the slicer (they might give you an extra piece to snack on), and no matter what, don’t lose that ticket." - Eater Staff
