I waited in line at the takeout for about 15 minutes, not bad at all! Yes, it's $9 for a sandwich. Yes, you may have doubts because every tourist loves this place. Yes, it looks just like a regular sandwich that you can get in any deli.
BUT YOU'RE WRONG!
Schwartz's smoked meat is something I have never had before in my life. The meat was stacked so high, I couldn't figure out where the little halves of bread were supposed to go! The flavor was so good, I was licking the dripping juice off my wrist (I know, gross). The mustard went so well with this sandwich that I was drooling for the next one as I had just started my first half.
I tried to get another sandwich to go for my drive back to New York, but alas - they only open at 10:30.
I'll be back for you, Schwartz.
