Those skinny Pat La Frieda patties and the secret "Shack Sauce" prove that with quality ingredients fast food doesn't have to be a $10 bag of greasy sawdust.. Every New Yorker knows. Try the burgers!
The classic order is the Recession Special: two dogs with everything and a drink for a grand total of $3.50. Stick to classic, mustard, sauerkraut and onions - to classic Sabrett's onion sauce.
Egg Cream! Contains no eggs-just milk, seltzer, chocolate sauce. If you want a real one, sit yourself down at the counter and order up. This shop's been serving up New York classics since 1929.
Black & White Cookies! You might think you've had a black and white cookie, but we challenge you, have you really had a good one? Thick and spongey, more like portable, hand-sized cake than a cookie.
There are very few places in world, where you can walk in and know with utter confidence that anything you decide to buy will be of the best quality of its kind, the most delicious, the most anything!
This place is so busy that the pizzas never get cold and slices are flying across counter like Frisbees until very wee hours of morning. Plain cheese slices are the way to go, toppings are optional.
Shanghai Soup Dumplings! There isn't another place in NYC where as soon as you sit down your waiter asks if you want soup dumplings before he hands menu. Of course you do, that's what you're here for!
Ahhhh, Katz's. Where Harry met Sally. And where we met pastrami. Giant piles of juicy brisket coated with spices and dripping with goodness barely held together by a couple of slices of rye bread.
