Katz's Delicatessen: The Deli That Outlived Its Own Neighborhood
Since 1888, Katz's Delicatessen has served pastrami on New York's Lower East Side — through a neighborhood collapse, a world war, and the age of fast food. The $50 lost-ticket policy, the month-long pastrami process, the ‘Send a Salami to Your Boy in the Army’ campaign, the air-rights deal that saved the building, and the movie scene that made a deli a landmark.
