Harry & Ida’s served up thick-cut, flavorful pastrami and smoked eel sandwiches in a cozy East Village spot inspired by a Catskills country store.
"There are a lot of places to get a pastrami sandwich in this city, but we’re all in on Harry & Ida’s: the pastrami is thick-cut and insanely flavorful, and the fancy toppings take it to another level. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Harry & Ida’s is probably one of those places you heard about, meant to check out, and never made it to. Or if you haven’t heard of it at all, what you need to know is that they’re famous for making an absolutely incredible pastrami sandwich. While the little shop is a cool space, there’s not much in the way of seating, so take the opportunity to get a sandwich sent to the area in front of your TV screen at home.
