Where: New York City, NY
When: 2005 and on
With: Different people
New York is known for being a mecca of amazing food. And that includes their signature deli sandwiches, a reputation that is well deserved. The meat is fresh, the bread is unlike anywhere else in the world, and most of the famous delis have been around for over a century.
Over my years in New York, I definitely got to have some fun experiences in several of the well-known places. I had a corned beef sandwich as big as my head in the Carnegie Deli. I waited in line for hours on Christmas Eve to get lox from Russ & Daughters. But there is one that was made famous by the movie When Harry Met Sally that Dave and I made an effort to get to before leaving New York for London: Katz's Deli.
The iconic deli sits on the corner of Houston and Ludlow in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It's signs are an iconic staple of Houston that stand out to locals and tourists alike.

It's pretty much always mobbed in here (particularly on Saturdays when it doesn't close). But ordering at the counter and waiting for a table are all a part of the experience.
If you are lucky, you can snag the table where Meg Ryan sat in her iconic scene in the film. They have conveniently pointed it out for you.
Dave and I each ordered our favorites: pastrami and corned beef, respectively. While they were stacked as high as the Carnegie, it's still no small sandwich. Of course, it must be ordered on rye to really complete the experience.
And it comes with a healthy side of two types of pickles: sour and half sour (or "new"). I am not a pickle fan, but I could appreciate that they looked pretty good.
And so, we enjoyed our sandwiches.
Even though they can be a touch overwhelming, these sandwiches are a must-do staple of New York cuisine. Delicious!
