I had a good salami omelet when I was there last. I'm not actually a fan of deli meats. But the pickles, the dilled tomatoes, the salami, the matzo ball soup...yes, thank you, ma'am!

If I were at the Tenement Museum and
I wanted lunch, I would take a quick taxi ride over to L'Ecole at the French Culinary Institute on Broadway. The cheap prix-fixe lunch is a real bargain!
After lunch, I would go shopping at Pearl River Mart.

"And the side dishes at 2nd Ave are far superior to Katz's."
We're not going for the culinary experience. As far as I'm concerned, deli (no matter how fabulous) is about as far as you can get from a foodie's dream. The grown-ups in the party have all been to Katz's. This trip is a treat for the 12-year-old who is experiencing NY for the first time so we want to take her to special or famous places. The 'classics', if you will -- for example, the top of the Empire State Building as opposed to the Top of the Rock.

Katz's is NYC experience, and not just for tourists either.

the tenement museum gift shop has a/c and there are a lot of books and things that would be of interest to a 12 year old as well as adults.. and not tacky touristy stuff.

Alas, IMD, the kid is one of the vegetarians. Maybe she can bribe the pickle guy.
I think they've renovated the TM gift shop since I was there but I do remember it as having some very interesting slide shows and fun stuff to buy.
