Katz’s Delicatessen
I was supposed to go back to Coney Island on Tuesday to see the Cyclones, a minor league Baseball team, but Carrie got out of work too late, so instead I met her for a drink. We went to a SoHo bar where Strongbow Cider, my second favourite after Blackthorn, was $3 for an American Pint! In New York City! I couldn’t believe it when the bartender asked me for $6 for two drinks!
After two pints, we walked towards 14th street, deciding we would stop off somewhere to eat. And there it was. Katz’s. The only deli in New York where they still hand slice the pastrami and the absolute best in town! I couldn’t walk past it hungry. One extra lean Pastrami on rye and an order of fries is quite enough for two adults, although I used to eat that much myself in the days when my appetite was larger and my tendency store fat somewhat lesser.
This place is a New York institution and a complete cross section of the city goes there. I have to recommend it to tourists. If you talk with the person making your sandwich, he will give you extra slices of pastrami while you wait and a plate full of delicious pickles including tomatoes, which I had always previously refused but never will again. If you are happy with his service, a tip of a dollar or two wouldn’t go amiss.
Beware though. A lot of people think the same way as me and at certain times, the place becomes a complete zoo and it can be difficult to find a table. And if you don’t like high noise levels, you really won’t like this place when it is crowded. As I think about it though, if you are averse to high noise levels, you took a wrong turn somewhere ending up in New York in the first place! This is the City in a microcosm. Enjoy!
