NY Pastrami sandwich
 

I know there was a thread on this before but I can't seem to find it. Where can we find the best pastrami sandwich experiance? We are going to NY this weekend and staying in the Times Square area.

Katz!

Do you have an approximate address for Katz?
Thank you!

i don't have an exact address but it's lower east side are, on e. houston st. Check menupages.com for address. From the times sq area, take the F train to 2nd Avenue and Houston St.

Pastrami is also great at the Carnegie, not kosher but kosher-style. 7th Avenue at 55th.

Take the schlepp to Murray Hill for <b>Sarge's</b>: 548 Third Ave. between 36th and 37th. Yum!!

Sarge's or Katz.

Oh how I long for the days of Second Avenue Deli!

I dream about their Matzo Ball Soup and pastrami!

CArnegie Deli is the best but bring a friend they are tooooooo big, you will want to share.

Another vote for Sarge's. Good deli food and not as inconvenient as Katz's.

Sue,
Just a clarification...&quot;kosher-style&quot; is really just a marketing ploy.

The religious requirements of being kosher mean a restaruant is either kosher or not kosher. Kosher isn't a style of cooking. Chinese, Mexican, Italian restaurants &amp; even some Dunkin' Donuts can be Kosher.

Katz' has by far the best pastrami in Manhattan. It is on Houston Street corner of Ludlow..also great grilled hot dogs.

Katz is tops.

Mendy's is an un-heralded one that is also kosher. I've been there many times with some Jewish business associates who all swear by it (figuratively).

Best hot dog (and cheap, too) is the Papaya King.

Kosher is the way they slaughter &amp; prep food, not a marketing &quot;ploy&quot;, Dick.

In a kosher deli that sells meat, you can't get milk products; or vice versa, i.e., 2nd Avenue Deli. Carnegie Deli sells both meat &amp; dairy items; and while some items may be considered &quot;kosher&quot; in their preparation, the outlet is not.

Sue,

I did't say that Kosher was a marketing ploy...I said thet &quot;kosher style&quot; was a marketing ploy.

My comment was addressed to your description of pastrami at the Carnegie as being &quot;kosher-style&quot;

The meat has to be slaughtered ritually to be considered kosher.

THe Carnegie deli is considered &quot;kosher-style&quot;. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, you should ask them.

The Carnegie Deli considers themselves &quot;Kosher-Style&quot;. Observant Jews would condsider them trayf.

Ritual slaughter is only part of the requirements to be Kosher.
