"Every table at this no-frills deli in Kips Bay automatically gets crisp pickles and vinegary slaw, and you should keep those things company by getting the thinly sliced tender and smoky pastrami sandwich, a hearty bowl of matzo ball soup, and some buttery and flaky franks in blankets. Recite your order quickly because the servers are busy, and don’t ask them to toast any bread if you want to stay on their good sides. Note that this place serves no dairy, and they don’t take orders after 7pm." - will hartman, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang
