Why you should go…
Since 1888, Katz's has been the Lower East Side's temple of pastrami: hand-carved, smoked for weeks, and stacked high on rye with mustard. Grab a ticket at the door, order at the counter, and ask your cutter for a sample slice while you wait. The neon-lit dining room still marks the table where the famous 'When Harry Met Sally' scene was filmed. Come hungry, sandwiches run big, and don't skip the matzo ball soup.
