houston & ludlow (btwn 1st & A)
i finally made it to katz’s, after hearing my sister rave about her trip there. apparently, this famous tourist-destination deli stayed off my radar screen. fortunately, it’s also not near typical tourist areas, so a little more remote and not as ridiculous as times square. and boy, was it worth the mild shitshow inside the deli (crowded, etc). lacey & i split an enormous reuben which was delicious. the corned beef is to die for, and the sauerkraut was appropriately mild for me with a delicious russian dressing. we got both the “sour” and the regular pickles, both of which were much better than the regular sorts of pickles you get most places (of course). we also split an order of potato pancakes with sour cream & applesauce. those were also incredibly good. one thing to note: it is worth to spend the extra $1 for either lean or extra lean (a tip from lacey that we followed and it was delicious), you order the potato pancakes & lemonade at the back counter, and coffee at the middle counter). DEFINITELY go if you are a meat-eater. :)

yeah, the half sours. those were really good. but we also got a few of their sours (but no green tomatoes as a result). i also want to try the pastrami. oh and you SHOULD get the potato pancakes.
no, i didn’t know!

wow all i had was the corned beef sandwich. i want to go back now.
are the regular pickles the “half sours”? which is what we got when we went. also DID YOU KNOW these are the pickles from that pickle stand nearby?!?!?!
