Established in 1888 by a Russian immigrant family, the delicatessen is New York's oldest- and the only shop to hand carve all of their pastrami and corned beef. We peered over the counter and asked a warmly smiling man for pastrami on rye and accepted his offer of pickles. He dropped some meat on a plate for us to nibble on, as he stacked our sandwich. We also snagged a side of potato salad and a Brooklyn lager.
Chris probably could have eaten the entire sandwich, but it was more than enough for the two of us to share. The pickles are fantastic: each sandwich is served with one half-sour, one full-sour, halved. Over a middle table hangs a sign noting the spot Where Harry Met Sally. Also notable Bill Clinton is a fan. Definitely check out the wall of photos!
