Yesterday I had the pleasure of eating at Katz's Deli in New York City. I do not get to New York very often, and had never heard of Katz's until very recently. I am a member of the Yankee Beemers Motorcycle club, and I was in the city for the International Motorcycle Show at the Jacob Javitz Center. The club is a large group of well organized motorcycle enthusiasts. We filled up a tour bus and left from Franklin Mass to see the show, and eat at Katz's. Upon arriving at the intersection of 2nd and 7th, we all walked together, about 30 of us, to the deli which was about a mile from where we got dropped off. My girlfriend on crutches was quite a trooper.
When you see the neon sign outside, you know you made it there. We walked in thru a turn style and handed a ticket. The ticked had some mysterious numbers on it, and you wait at various counters to be served. Behind the counters sandwich makers were furiously slicing corned beef, pastrami, and brisket. There were sausages and salamis for sale, and a gentleman walked by me with an entire tray full of the golden brown steak fries..
I had the corned beef. It was delicious. I think there must have been a pound of meat on it. The guy who made it offered me the choice of lean or fatty, and I said both. a smear of mustard on both sides ,and a handful of home made picked cucumbers and tomatos...
