Arrived at around 11, just before the lunchtime rush. Katz's does have an unusual way of payment tho (bit like having dim sum when its busy in China Town). They give you a ticket on entry and the counter staff will mark the ticket with what you order and then you pay at a booth by the door when you leave. Alot of ppl complain about the decor and the ambience but I loved it, everything from the sawdust in the bathroom to the slightly rundown feeling of the place and the neighbourhood around it. Alot of cops and locals there which is always a good sign. The guys at the counter cut the pastrami infront of you, even tho we didnt tip he gave us the juiciest and leanest pastrami I've ever had (I don't like fat on my meat). I've been having dreams about the Ruben Sandwich, its that good!!! It was big so I shared the sandwich and a bowl of Matzoh Ball Soup between two. The soup was nice but wasn't too convinced by the Matzoh ball. I can't wait to go back NYC cus I'll definitely be coming to Katz's Deli again
Pros: Pastrami is really tasty!!!
Cons: Very Pricey
