I love Katz Delicatessen in NYC. So I was a little weary about how this would compare.
It did not disappoint!
My sister and I went when there was a power outage but that was fine because it wasn't as crowded. We order the smoked meat sandwich with a cherry coke because that's what Anthony Bourdain ordered.
It was delicious! Katz and Schwartz are different but I wouldn't be mad about grabbing some Schwartz! The meat was soft and tender, the mustard was subtle, and the bread was phenomenal. The cherry coke was tasty as well.
The menu is kind of confusing so if you are like me and don't know what the heck you are doing, just grab a seat and wait for a waiter to come by and take your order.
