Movie MayorOctober 14, 2010I'll have what she's having. The famous scene of 1989's "When Harry Met Sally" took place here at Katz's. There's even a sign at the specific table where Billy Crystal and Megan Ryan sat Read more
Don't get table service. Tip your sandwich maker. Enjoy a half of a pastrami or corned beef sandwich with a bowl of matzoh ball soup on a cold, wintry day.
Nicole G.July 3, 2010Best pastrami sandwich you will ever have in your life. Avoid the cole slaw. It tastes like cabbage and sweet whipped cream. Cash only.
Florence SchmitDecember 30, 2010Pastrami on rye is just too big for us girls and Europeans. Bagel looked like a better option. Very unique spot though. Buzzing and entertaining
Felicia HernandezNovember 16, 2010A carnivore's dream! Pastrami on rye is a staple, but you should also check out brisket of beef on rye... delicious!

Douglas WidickOctober 25, 2013absolute NYC institution. If you don't get the pastrami at least once you should be jailed.
jake furstOctober 26, 2010You'll have a pastrami on rye with deli mustard and a Dr. Browns, aka "what she's having" in the famous scene in When Harry Met Sally.
Alex CasariegoAugust 25, 2014I don't like pickles, but I like these pickles. Kinda pricey, but worth experiencing

David KellerDecember 7, 2011Best pastrami in the city... and I have shopped around. Don't be cheap... tip the counter workers!
Travel ChannelNovember 15, 2010Try the pastrami or the hot dogs. Katz's is a landmark eatery that's been serving up delicious meats since 1888.
Emily Punkimeowmeow del CastilloJanuary 23, 2011A NYC landmark. Gotta have the pastrami sandwich on rye. Yummy steak fries and LOVE the pickles too!
Dan KaoJune 23, 2013If you can charge $16 for meat between two pieces of bread you're doing something right. Get it!
