Alicia I think you mean 2nd Avenue Deli which closed about two years ago. It has reopened on 3rd avenue and 83rd or something like that, and now instead of free pickles on the table, they have free gribenes (chicken skin chicharon. Mmm)
I personally am beholden to Katzs because it’s around the corner and we always go to the same cutter who gives me the fattiest pieces available (much to the dismay of my S.O.) Also for the vegetarians, the Super Heeb at Russ and Daughters is amazing..whitefish salad with horseradish dressing and wasabi tobiko on a NY bagel. Yes.

you made the right choice in opting for bernstein’s. katz’s and carnegie deli are for tourists. going there would be like going to magnolia bakery.

the italian sub with capicolla, salami, pepperoni, provolone, vinegar and oil on a hero is my all-time favorite. i get it in any corner new york deli that sells boar’s head meats.

only in america. no wonder we have this obesity epidemic. consuming these enormous sandwiches resulted in a significant weight gain for me.

the rest of the world does not have this fixation with anything big (e.g. big food, cars, hair, etc.). the parisian jambon sandwiches, for example, remind me of sandwiches back in the philippines (a thin piece of ham on a bageutte with some crudites if requested).

My hubby is a die-hard Katz’s deli fan. We’ve tried other pastramis in other places, but none could satisfy him the way Katz’s does. Well, honestly, the others are just not as moist. But your rueben looks delicious, especially with the melted cheese ono top. We must go to PJ Bernstein’s then – pronto!

Hey MM! Where can I get a decent pastrami sandwich in Manila? I usually buy my pastrami from Santis and make the sandwich at home, but sometimes, its great to be served one! ;)

Been to Katz three times in my life. I love their genuine old New York deli ambience — a nostalgia-evoking atmosphere somewhat similar to what I feel at the original Ma Mon Luk branch :-P in Chinatown (if you can understand what I mean).

I could never finish even half a Katz sandwich. It’s that big. Their pastrami is still the moistest and tastiest I’ve ever had. At Katz today, they claim they cure their meats the same way they’ve always done before the days of refrigeration.

I should try Bernstein’s next time.

Add Montreal to your list of cities to visit so Mrs. MM can try the smoked meat, it’s comparable to pastrami, and comes in lean, and not so lean meat. I liked it, just not with all the poutine.
