Katz's Delicatessen

Kat'z Delicatessen is one of New York's most famous and best Jewish delicatessen restaurants, famous for their pastrami sandwiches and hot dogs. I've been to New York many times so it is quite silly of me to not have visited this establishment earlier. I loved that the restaurant remained unchanged throughout the years and stuck to their traditional ways of running the restaurant and preparing the food.

You are handed a ticket when you first walk in. Do not loose this ticket because it is used as a record of what you ordered and when you are done eating you hand that to the cashier as you exit. There is a penalty charge if you loose this ticket because it makes their already hectic job even harder! 

The entire wall is covered completely with pictures of famous celebrities and other notable people who have dined here. The setting is very casual and has a cafeteria feel to it. 

Potato Knish
The outside was crispy and the inside was creamy and chewy. The knish was extremely hot but I still couldn't resist biting into it! Next time I would like to try more flavors such as with meat fillings.

Pastrami sandwich with russian dressing and mustard
  Ahhh! The moment I have been waiting for. Each slice was pastrami was sliced thickly and topped on top of a wholesome piece of bread. The pastrami was juicy, tender, and exploding with meaty flavors. The pastrami was perfectly charred on the outside and succulent on the inside. The pastrami was layered on so many times that the bread was almost unable to hold the sandwich together. The tangy mustard and russian dressing wrapped the entire sandwich together perfectly. 

The meal is completed with some old school cream soda! Delicious :)
