I’ll have mine with Mustard Coleslaw and Gershwin
I'll pass on the cole slaw but take a bowl of their wonderful chicken noodle soup on the side with my pastrami.

Ted,
The times I went there, I got the soup and half a sandwich deal. I haven't tried them yet, but I've also read in a couple different places that Katz's has arguably the best hot dogs in NYC as well as that great pastrami. I was also very happy with their brisket.
In Philly, putting both Russian dressing and cole slaw on a corned beef or pastrami sandwich and calling it a corned beef special or pastrami special is very popular. I think it's just a regional thing though. But I'm with you in sticking with just mustard.

Russian on Pastrami? On the other hand I can’t knock Philly when it comes to food
I have never tried the Dogs there since the Pastrami is the draw—but on your say so I will
BTW, the last time I was there (sometime last spring) I got two Pastrami on Rye with one Potato Knish,(to go) the bill was almost $40….Forty bucks for a couple of Sandwiches…but worth every penny

Mostly corned beef actually. That's the more popular here in Philly.Ted wrote:Russian on Pastrami?
It's been a relatively long time since I was at Katz's; maybe about a decade. It sounds like their prices have sky rocketed since then. I used to get that soup and half a sandwich deal for about $7.

The hot dogs are very good.
But, I thought the Second Avenue Deli (RIP) was better all around.
Now, Katz's will have to do.
I remember going there with my Dad - just after the war - and the signs said "Send a salami to your boy in the Army."
I think one or two of those still hang over the deli counter.

I enjoyed 2nd Ave. too; prefered them both to Carnegie and Stage. I know the atmosphere at Carnegie is supposed to be part of its charm, but I find it annoying.

Now give me a short stack of good-quality pastrami, not an inedible mountain but just the right size for a sandwich. Then put it in a pastrami steamer, something that does nothing except make pastrami hot without drying it out (i.e., it is used for nothing else). Then cover it with melted Swiss-real Swiss, really melted, and put it between two slices of good grilled rye with mayonnaise, not mustard. Lastly, charge the price for a sandwich, not for a main course at the Four Seasons.
Now let's see, could any of your New York delis manage that? Or would I be consigned to the state of a non-entity for saying anything more than "pastrami on rye" and being happy for why I got? On the other hand, years ago, I could get just such a sandwich without the bat of an eye at the Parkway Deli in Silver Spring, Maryland.

We had no quality Jewish deli in Philly until the past seven or eight years. Before then, you could only get Philly style Jewish deli, meaning the meat is cold and sliced very thin. I didn't realize there was anything else until friends started taking me to some of the NYC delis.
Thankfully, one guy whose name I forget, started opening up genuine, quality delis in Center City less than a decade ago. He works on one at a time. Once it's firmly established, he sells it (usually to someone who had been working for him) and moves on to open another place. Unfortunately, they usually go downhill after he leaves.
This place in Jersey is quite good:

Thank you Barry; I think you have suggested that link before, and I'm sure for some things it is useful. However, if anyone here contemplates being in the vicinity of Glens Falls or Saratoga Springs, NY, please consult me first. I think I have some better ideas than the one listing on this site.Barry Z wrote:John,

Reminds me a lot of Manny's in Chicago, but Manny's service is strictly cafeteria style, no table service.
I love the battered porkpie hat on the guy in the checkerboard shirt. It looks like its a family heirloom, older than he is.

Benson's is a great place - but, in my opinion, just shy of that Palace of Pastrami, Cathedral of Corned Beef - the aforementioned 2nd Ave Deli.Ted wrote:Actually, the three mentioned are just that….three Delis
As far as I’m concerned the best ever was Bensons in my home town of Rockville Centre….
Had a lot of great sandwiches in Benson's though.
