Guide Review - Katz's Delicatessen: Restaurant Review
For late night eats on the Lower East Side, or when you just want to have a fabulous sandwich or a hot dog, Katz's Delicatessen is the perfect destination. While there are many competitors for the best corned beef and pastrami in New York, Katz's serves up a fabulous overstuffed sandwich($14.45-14.95) in an authentically "only in New York" environment.
Everything is served a la carte, so the bill can climb pretty quickly. Knish ($3.25-3.75) are available in potato and kasha varieties and with a sandwich, will easily serve two people. The hot dogs at Katz's($3.10) are a deliciously affordable way to experience Katz's. They offer a wide array of typical Jewish deli offerings, including potato latkes($9.10) and delicious cole slaw($4.50). Don't miss out on the Dr. Brown's sodas ($2.50).
