About Katz's Delicatessen

Katz's Delicatessen in New York is a famous spot known for its friendly staff and the best pastrami sandwich in town. The lively atmosphere adds to the experience, with waiters in white coats busy behind the counter and meat cutters offering delicious samples while you wait. The menu has stayed the same for decades, showcasing classic Jewish delicacies. Apart from the signature sandwich, the coleslaw salad and extra pickles are highly recommended, and the pickles are free and fresh. The walls are decorated with pictures of celebrities posing with the owner, adding charm. The deli can be crowded and noisy, similar to a school cafeteria, but the pastrami is worth the hassle. The sandwiches are large, with plenty of meat, and table service is suggested to avoid the rush. The famous pastrami on a club with mayo and cheese is especially popular. Visitors have praised the quality of the meat, saying it is the best they’ve had, with some noting it’s been around since before the 1800s. The deli is kid-friendly, with highchairs available, and a great place for a satisfying meal, especially enjoyed with the Matzo Ball soup.
