Harry & Ida's Luncheonette

I'll give them this: they're FAST. Now if only the pastrami was actually any good. And what's with the odd greenery in the no- substitutes recipe? Update after the owner responded: Hi. Genuinely appreciate the response. And to a point I respect your right to do things differently. For real. But ... You know ... Pastrami/NYC. BTW: while part of my comment was "this is different and I don't like it", part is "it's dry". Pastrami shouldn't be dry. This isn't a recipe thing, it's a quality -control thing. Just sayin'.

Such friendly staff and a really tasty lunch. Go for the pastrami, so tasty.

Excellent food. Definitively can recommend the pastrami sandwich!!!

The pastrami is really good. Hand sliced and very thick. The hoagie roll is a bit clunky at times, but overall, really delicious!

5 stars for the staff on monday, april 9th. Went in for a hot drink and got a free sample of Pastrami + Softserve! Both Delish. Very friendly staff.

The pastrami sandwich was extremely good, and fountain sodas very tasty.

Pretty unimpressed. Sandwiches served on worthless white bread. Pastrami was good.

Best pastrami sandwich in the city.
