Katz Deli - A Meat Lover and Movie Buff's Dream
I first saw Katz Deli while on a TV & Movie Sights bus tour, where they mentioned all the on-screen scenes this famous deli has been in, probably most notably the “I’ll have what she’s having” scene from When Harry Met Sally. I also learned the woman who delivers that line was actually the director's Mom. But onto the restaurant...
It’s one of those places I’ve always known about , but even during my other trips to New York, I had never gone before. Meat-lovers would have a field day with the sandwiches at this place- they are enormous piles of meat on bread. I’m actually not quite sure how you’d get your mouth around it – I saw some patrons using a fork and knife, so I thought that would be the way to go.
There are definitely other options on the menu, but hot dogs and roast beef sandwiches are by far the most popular items. It’s not quite a vegetarian’s dream.
The food is pretty good, but fairly expensive, although one sandwich can easily serve as two meals. I think a lot of people go for the atmosphere, knowing it’s a famous spot in NYC – with good reason.
