"The actor and director was a man of great energy and vitality, with his most recent film, "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues," coming out just months ago. But Reiner's legacy lives on through his performances in "All in the Family" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" and through his unimpeachable run of films as a director spanning from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s: "This Is Spinal Tap," "The Princess Bride," "Misery,""
"When Katz's Delicatessen opened in 1888 on the Lower East Side, it was at the heart of a bustling Jewish neighborhood. (In fact, it's right down the street from Russ & Daughters, another iconic Jewish hot spot which offers some of the ten best New York City foods on Goldbelly.) Today, only traces of that heritage remain, but they're there all the same: The Tenement Museum is a short walk away, and there are some Jewish restaurants, Katz's chief among them, which still stand."
Rob Reiner died tragically alongside his wife Michele, leaving a legacy of energetic performances and influential direction. His most recent film, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, was released months before his death. Reiner's acting credits include All in the Family and The Wolf of Wall Street. His directing run from the mid-1980s to early 1990s produced This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, Misery, and When Harry Met Sally, whose Katz's Delicatessen scene remains iconic. Katz's Delicatessen opened in 1888 on the Lower East Side and anchored a bustling Jewish neighborhood. Traces of that heritage remain nearby, including the Tenement Museum and Jewish restaurants, with Katz's as a chief survivor.
