Katz's i...My dear Allergic Girl,<BR/>How wrong you are. Katz's is the real deal. It is the oldest deli in New York, in the United States, and likely the whole world. While tourists do flock there, it remains a place for locals, far more than the other delis that you mentioned in Midtown. To say that pastrami is "Too Fatty" belies your lack of knowledge about the product. The fat is what gives it the flavor. Real pastrami is fatty, cut by hand, and has a thick layer of spice shielding it. Noah's Ark is a fine deli, but to put it in the same league as Katz? <BR/><BR/>Katz's is old and Katz's has not been redecorated in fifty years. Katz's has worn tables and worn chairs and worn servers. Katz's serves food that is FATTY and GREASY because the alternative to that is DRY and TASTELESS. <BR/><BR/>Still, you have a right to kvetch. That's what blogs are for.<BR/><BR/>Save the DeliUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513666110826569048noreply@blogger.com
