Don't forget to pair it with a Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray Soda!

The pastrami at Carnegie, Stage, and Katz's are all tops -- choosing between them is splitting hairs, IMHO. (You can find acceptable pastrami at several other delis, but why bother?) I prefer Katz's because it's more atmospheric; the staff, to put it mildly, are characters; the pickles are better; and FWIW the pastrami is hand-cut.

Stops at Russ & Daughters (179 E. Houston) and Yonah Schimmels (137 E. Houston) are also recommended .
