A piece of
New York history.

Founded in 1888, Katz's Delicatessen has been feeding New Yorkers from the same corner on E Houston Street for generations. Walk in and feel it immediately: the hum of a packed room, the smell of cured meat, the walls covered in photos and memories from decades past.

The service is no-frills, the crowd is real, and the sandwiches are built to the old standard. Tender, juicy pastrami. Corned beef on rye. Crispy potato latkes. Pickles, both half sour and full sour, on the side. This is the deli in its original, unpolished form.

The pastrami was out of this world. Easily the best I've had. Tender, juicy, packed with flavor. The latke was also excellent, crispy on the outside and soft inside. Overall, a classic NYC experience and definitely worth the visit.

The pastrami sandwich is simply iconic. The meat is hand-carved right in front of you, incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is lively, energetic, and uniquely New York. The walls are covered with photos and memories from decades past.

The atmosphere is super authentic and chaotic in a fun way. It really feels like a piece of New York history. The food is very good, especially the pastrami sandwich. The meat is tender, flavorful, and the portions are huge.
