"This mythical sandwich counter on the Lower East Side has been dishing out astronomical portions of some of the best pastrami this city has to offer since 1888. Yes, it’s a bit of a tourist trap, with a line down the block at peak lunch and dinner hours, trademark gruff service, and photos of famous customers on the walls. But even if you live here, you should wait in that line at least once a year for a hot pastrami on rye with mustard and sauerkraut. It's worth it for those juicy hunks of peppery meat, sandwiched between bread that sometimes disintegrates, all washed down with a crisp Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja
