After our dessert, we thought .."hey, im kind of hungry!", as we always are. So our hunt began for a good sandwich. Katzs Delicatessen immediately came to mind and we have never been there... EVER! So thats where we journeyed.
When you walk in they give you this raffle ticket and warn you "If you lose it, you pay $5o!" You better believe we did our best not to lose that ticket.
As im choosing which sandwich i wanted to try, Bobby was eagerly waiting to tell the deli man what he wanted. This place is famous for their sandwich meat, especially pastrami. So i decided to get soft salami on rye with mustard because i LOVE salami and Bobby got pastrami on rye with mustard. The deli man gave us a little slice of pastrami. Ok so ive never been a huge pastrami fan, im usually the ham & cheese or salami and mustard type of lady HOWEVER, this little slice of pastrami... oh this little slice, it was so silky, so soft and so moist that it literally broke apart before it reached your mouth and when that piece actually got there, it melted away. By far the BEST piece of pastrami i ever ate. Bobby loved every bite of his sandwich. Me, well, this place is definitely for a person who likes to taste the meat and likes the hardy hardy sandwiches. It was a little too heavy on the meat for me but Bobby thought it was the perfect amount for a person who likes a solid meaty sandwich. Dont get me wrong the meats were very tasty, it was just a bit much. The prices are a bit steep for a sandwich but it isnt your typical deli so prepare to pay between $10+ for a single sandwich. 2 sandwiches and a shared soda cost us $32!
The decor is pretty cool, you go thru a couple centuries of celebrities who have come to Katzs and taken pictures with the owners or workers. It blew my mind that this place has been around since 1888. Its pretty nostalgic when you see where this little deli started from to what its become today.
It gets an 8.5!
