Description
This cavernous cafeteria is a repository of New York historyglossies of celebs spanning the past century crowd the walls, and the classic Jewish deli offerings are nonpareil. Start with a crisp-skinned, all-beef hot dog for just $3.10. Then flag down a meat cutter and order a legendary sandwich. The brisket sings with horseradish, and the thick-cut pastrami stacked high between slices of rye is the stuff of dreams. Everything tastes better with a glass of the hoppy house lager; if youre on the wagon, make it a Dr. Browns.
Hours
Mon, Tue 8am–10pm; Wed, Thu, Sun 8am–11pm; Fri, Sat 8am–3am.
An overpriced tourist rip off. And the most unpleasant dining experience when busy. I didn't expect cold meat in sandwiches at this so-called legendary restaurant. There are far better Jewish deli sandwiches elsewhere in New York. The owners can afford to spend a few dollars on the washrooms which are appalling.
