The diner and the appetizing counter are two faces of the same New York habit: feed everyone, all day, without ceremony. On the Lower East Side, Katz's Delicatessen has been carving hand-cut pastrami since 1888, while Russ & Daughters has sold smoked fish and bagels on Houston Street for more than a century. Together they anchor the downtown idea of breakfast and lunch as civic institutions.
Katz's on East Houston has cured, smoked and hand-sliced pastrami in New York City since 1888. The corner-of-the-counter sandwich is the deli's whole point.
OrderHand-cut pastrami on rye, mustard, half-sour pickle.
TipTip the slicer a dollar when you get your ticket; a thick fatty slice samples your way and the sandwich comes built right.
Russ & Daughters has slung appetising on East Houston in New York City since 1914: hand-sliced smoked salmon, sturgeon, schmaltz herring and bagels to take.
OrderThe Classic: Gaspe Nova lox, cream cheese, tomato, onion, capers on a poppy bagel.
TipThe shop is for take-away. Sit down at Russ & Daughters Cafe around the corner on Orchard for table service.
