Katz's Delicatessen

Editorial Review

Über-New York unreconstructed fluorescent and neon digs. Get the little red ticket and stand on line for impressive collection of meats and bulging guts. Regulars sport overfed American look, with too much salt and pickling juice. Ginormous sandwiches, Billy Crystal, and the Wu-Tang. Best pastrami anywhere. Place is for sale, they better not be asking for a penny less than a zillion. Send a salami to your boy in the Army. God Bless the LES.
