We found out about Katz's from watching the ultimate in Food Porn, Man v Food - Adam Richman (google him, the man's a genius) went there on his New York episode. The premise of the show is that he goes around the US of A and stuffs his face in loads of pig out joints, and does food challenges, as well as visiting best places to eat as voted by the locals. Katz's Deli has been going since pigs were invented practically, and it's quite the place. It's been voted as having the best pastrami in NYC so obviously we were going to visit it. It's in Greenwich Village somewhere if I remember rightly, and is also the place where in When Harry Met Sally she does the orgasm scene- so it's pretty famous yaddyaddyah.
We got very overexcited about having been in the same room as Adam Richman and actually in reality we weren't even hungry but soldiered on and ordered anyway. This sandwich was fecking HUGE. The whole place was basically food porn, but I got all stressy as it was boiling hot and and you have to fight for a table AND I was wearing stupid shoes. Oh and the boyfriend actually ate left over coleslaw off of someone else's plate, which was nice. But yeah- if you're in the area, and you're not wearing stupid shoes, and it's not boiling hot, then i'd highly recommend it.
(that's actually a pretty shit explanation of the place - sorry.)
