Katz Deli on E.Houston is a landmark. Their pastrami sandwich will make you do a Meg Ryan in When HM Sally, where that scene was filmed coincidentally.
Don't miss Veselka which is on 2nd avenue in the east village. the cross street is 9th street. it is a deli/diner and its Polish. So there is no pastrami there. get the Bigos - its huge!!! Second Ave deli is kosher, so there is no dairy products there.
We we to the Carnegie Deli yesterday due to it's proximity to the theatre...the sandwiches are huge and you can share for $3.00.. but the stuff is tasteless..our NJ friends couldn't understand why people were waiting in line.
