More restaurants in New York City
Pastrami Queen ★ 4.3
Pastrami Queen on Lexington serves kosher pastrami sandwiches on the Upper East Side of New York City. Modest counter, oversized sandwiches since 1956.
OrderHand-cut pastrami on rye with mustard.
TipCounter is tiny and seats fewer than a dozen; the takeaway line moves faster than the dine-in queue.
Sammy's Roumanian Steakhouse ★ 4.2
Sammy's Roumanian reopened on Stanton Street in 2024 after the Chrystie basement closed in 2021. Romanian-Jewish steakhouse, schmaltz on every table.
OrderGarlic-rubbed skirt steak with seltzer-and-chocolate-syrup egg cream service.
TipTables are mixed at long shared boards; book the early seating by phone (646-410-2427) if you want any chance of hearing your tablemate.
Grand Central Oyster Bar ★ 4.4
The Grand Central Oyster Bar has poured oysters and clam chowder beneath the Guastavino tiles of New York City's Grand Central Terminal since 1913.
OrderA cup of Manhattan clam chowder and a half-dozen East Coast oysters at the counter.
TipSit at the counter facing the open kitchen; the pan roast is theatre when made to order.
Hwa Yuan Szechuan ★ 4.3
Hwa Yuan on East Broadway brought Sichuan cooking to New York City Chinatown in 1968, closed in 1992, and was rebuilt by the founder's family in 2017.
OrderCold sesame noodles to start, General Tso's chicken in the founder's original sweet-and-savoury glaze.
TipThe cold sesame noodles claim to be the original American version; whether or not you buy that, order them.
Lucali ★ 4.9
Mark Iacono's candlelit Carroll Gardens pizzeria in New York City turns out a coal-fired Brooklyn pie and a calzone, cash only, BYOB, no reservations.
OrderThe plain margherita, charred-crust slice.
TipWalk-in only. Put your name down at 17:30, then come back at 19:30; the wait is the room's whole social fabric.
Katz's Delicatessen ★ 4.9
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.
