"Pastrami Queens opened in 1956 near the courthouse on Queens Boulevard in Kew Gardens, and 40 years later changed its name and departed for the Upper East Side. There right on Lexington Avenue, the small spot established a reputation for its overstuffed pastrami sandwiches, crisp potato pancakes with sour cream and applesauce, and chicken noodle soup. A more recent location has sprung up on the Upper West Side." - Eater Staff
