The pastrami sandwich is the best! They usually just put mustard with it. If you order a turkey sandwich, try it with the Russian sauce!

Delicious pastrami sandwich. Overcrowded always, unorganised, have some patience.

Cheese sandwich is great for vegetarians! Also, LATKES. Make sure you order everything from the right counter or else you'll get the stink-eye.

Do it correctly. Pastrami on rye with mustard, sour dill pickle, and a Dr Brown's cream soda. Make your mom proud.

Katz's is famous for its pastrami sandwich. It is actually very good. Very. Though, i think it is quite overpriced (around 20$).

Delicious meal. One plate is enough for 2 person. Trust me!

You are a true New Yorker if you enjoyed Katz’s pastrami sandwich at 3am.

Sandwiches. Especially pastrami and corned beef combination.

Franklin's Brisket in Austin, Texas is the only better beef I've had.

So surprised of the ratings. It was the worst- taste,service or value. Chicken soup was a bullion cube served half in a cup, half in the dish, a piece of rye + unchewable meat or liverwurst costs ~20$

Pastrami on rye with a schmear of liver. Paired with a cream soda. Topped off with a pickle. But don't lose your ticket.

Great atmosphere, and tasty food!

Pastrami sandwich and Matzo-ball soup were delicious. Slightly too full and chaotic, wasn't clear that they had table service...
AriZona Iced TeaFebruary 8, 2011
The original NYC deli, serving up the best corned beef and pastrami sandwiches in town. Don't forget to pair your food with an ice cold AriZona!

Worth the wait, the corn beef and pastrami Reuben is to die for.
Seth GordonOctober 22, 2011
Go with the classic: pastrami (or corned beef) on rye with a slash of mustard. Wash down with a Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray. Classic.
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010
Possibly the most famous NYC food landmark, this Jewish deli excels in each dish, from snappy hot dogs to giant pastrami sandwiches. Hint: don't forget to tip your carver!
Patrick JasinskiDecember 5, 2014
Very good pastrami! Prices are ridiculous...$20 for a sandwich is a bit overpriced!

😋 My favorite NY restaurant to visit when I’m in the city😁!

Not as good as my childhood memories but if you want pastrami downtown . (and dont mind the price) Its still the place to go. And it still looks the same as 30 years ago.

Come late night. Less tourists and more drunk New York’s getting food after a fun night out.
Cindy WatersMay 25, 2012

Best Pastrami hands down! Great afterhours spot!
Christopher PepeMarch 2, 2013
If you can't stomach the $13.95 to stomach the best pastrami sandwich ever created by man, you need to get out of this city.
AlyssaNovember 15, 2015
Pastrami is everything
FunhiguyJune 22, 2013
It's Cash only so bring an ATM card if you don't bring a big wad of cash. Pay the price, the food is worth every penny.
Vinnie DaboulFebruary 22, 2016
The atmosphere, the food is off the charts. It's like going back in time.
Apostolos SamarasSeptember 25, 2017
Words cannot describe this place. It should be rated as an attraction!
alphacityguidesDecember 2, 2012
Can't argue that this is one friggin' good pastrami sandwich. Remember it's cash only!!! Read more

If you drop a dollar in the tip jar while in line, they'll give you a little plate of meat to eat while you wait. Plus, they work hard and deserve it.
Eric BiedermannFebruary 19, 2016
No doubt the best sandwich shop in NYC maybe the world
Christian FengAugust 20, 2017
