If . ou could choose one deli....
My husband and I, along with our 2 teenage boys, will be in Manhattan for 2 days at the end of May.
We won't have time to try too many restaurants, but we definitely want to have the quintessential NY
deli experience! Which one should it be and why?
Cast your vote here...

Sorry to disappoint you. There are no nyc delis left. You can go to the tourist attraction
Katz Deli, but it would be wrong to call it quintessential as it is typical of nothing.

re: Delikatz
That's total BS. Katz is the real deal - it's only been there about one
hundred years. So go to Katz and have pastrami, knish, and anything else.
You will love the place.

You know what? Choose one from those that are around today.
I don't really think the person who posted the question is going to be able to
go back to 1957 for the way it used to be.

I think the food is ver. good at both. What t pe of atmosphere do ou want?
2nd ave is more like a restaurant, Kat 's has more of a cafeteria feel to me - ver
open.
B Shorts on Jan 13, 2005 11:03 AM

The quintessential deli in NY is 2nd Avenue in m mind. The are on top of their game
for ever Jewish specialt . Kat 's makes ama ing pastrami, which is what the stake
their reputation on. Carnegie is a fun tourist destination, but not as good as Kat 's or
2nd Ave.
Also, ma be this is personal bias, but I wouldn't label a deli serving phill cheese
steaks as quintessential.
B Josh on Jan 13, 2005 11:56 AM

definitel kat 's . Best pastrami in manhattan.
B anon. on Jan 13, 2005 12:41 PM

#1 Choice is Kat 's. It hasn't changed much since pushcarts lined the Lower East
Side over 100 ears ago. You'll feel the histor . Head to Houston & Ludlow Street and
ou'll see the big sign that sa s "Kat 's That's All" - That's all ou need to know. Check
out that old poster that urges ou to "send a salami to our bo in the arm " and take a
check as ou enter this temple of pastrami and good eats. Don't lose that check.
Second choice is the Second Avenue Deli on 10th Street & Second Avenue but ou'll
be sitting at a regular table or a booth. Delicious food but not as colorful as Kat 's.
B Fl nn on Jan 13, 2005 12:58 PM

I am a frequent visitor to NYC and enjo both Kat 's and 2nd Avenue. What's also fun
about both are their locations. Kat 's is a great wa to get ourself a quick peak at the
Lower East Side, while 2nd Avenue gets ou to the East Village.
These are areas that a lot of tourists don't visit, especiall on a short visit. So, ou
might want to consider which area ou'd like to at least see for a couple of
minutes...since ou have such a brief sta .

walking into just to see the mess slopp. largescale production.
If ou loved our visit to Zabar's and are cr ing "more more" then ou could grab some
picnic stuff to take back to our hotel at Fairwa Market in the 70's on Broadwa . And,
to be reall nuts, on our wa there stop b Bearded Papa or whatever that Japanese
creampuff place is called and there imagine this: when it opened people were queued
up and down the street waiting to get in while the workers got RSI s ndrome working
the cream pump.
B Curriculum Vitae on Jan 15, 2005 04:56 PM

I would check out "Big Al's Super Cool Deli." It's much better than Kat 's or 2nd
Avenue.
