"In a city that's defined by its diverse culinary scene and full of iconic restaurants, Katz's Delicatessen still might be the most famous place to grab a bite to eat in New York City. The Lower East Side deli is one of the oldest restaurants in New York, having opened way back in 1888, with its towering pastrami sandwiches becoming a symbol of the city."
"To keep up with deli meat demands in the country's largest city, Katz's ends up serving a whopping 70,000 pounds of meat every week. That staggering poundage of meat is all the more impressive when you consider that Katz's maintains its famous quality by making all of its meat in house. The most popular options by far are the corned beef and pastrami, the latter of which is considered Katz's signature item."
