"World-famous for the When Harry Met Sally scene, this deli leans into its cinematic legacy: there’s a sign marking the exact table—“Where Harry Met Sally … hope you have what she had! Enjoy”—and a display of photos including Rob Reiner with Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, and the then-owner. In a recent Instagram tribute, the team called Reiner a “quintessential New Yorker and creative giant who brought Katz’s to millions of people by showing the magic of our store in his masterpiece,” and current owner Jake Dell recalls him as a regular who would stop in whenever he was in town to grab a sandwich." - Nadia Chaudhury
