"One night, we were pretending to have fun at a bar in the East Village, and then we remembered we could just go to Katz’s instead. On weekdays, the Lower East Side pastrami institution is open until 11pm. But on Friday, they open their doors at 8am, and don't close them until 11pm on Sunday. The late-night scene at Katz’s is still crowded and tourist-heavy, and you will need to pull it together for an interaction with the deli bouncer, but once you make it inside, all the pastrami and potato salad you need are right at your fingertips. And after a few drinks, forking over $27.45 for a sandwich feels like a fine idea." - willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim
