Katz’s Delicatessen, a popular destination for gastronomers, visitors, and locals since 1888, was founded by the Iceland brothers. They are famous for serving the meats (Pastrami, corned beef, etc.) cured using a slower method, which best flavors the meat, without injecting chemicals, water, or other additives to speed the process. The finished product can take up to a full 30 days to cure, while commercially prepared corned beef is often pressure-injected (or “pumped”) to cure in 36 hours. There is plenty of seating and great pictures all over the walls of famous customers.
Do not eat a big meal before your visit; the legendary sandwiches are a pound of meat between two slices of bread. The place takes you back to the 1940s.
- It is popular among the locals and tourists for its legendary pastrami, corned beef, and Jewish deli classics.
- The other famous dishes are their tasty hot dogs, knishes, potato Latkes, knockwurst, Brisket Sandwich, and Matzoh Ball Soup.
