Surely there are debates on best pastrami in NY, but this is the one I tried when I visited. Mouth watering goodness!

This place is known for both their price and portion size. I generally get two meals out of a single $30 sandwich.

Regardless of how popular the place is with tourists, it is still a classic.

And, bonus: if the line is too long you can just go to Russ and Daughters a block away and grab a pastrami lox bagel (see attached).

Russ and daughters is like stepping in a time machine and going back to the 30s/40s. Great place ! I just love the lower Eastside. Clinton st bakery, the imho even better Pause cafe. I really miss NYC

Russ & daughters is so good. I wish I had that bagel right now!

A sandwich for £22 is crazy. No matter how big it is. I could eat Monday to Friday for that.

To each their own and they do look lovely, I’m just not a food guy. I eat else I die is my relationship with food.

It's a lot, but the sandwiches are huge. NYC is the only place I've been where the sandwiches are usually big enough for 2-3 people.

It's also one of the cheaper cities to eat as a tourist. No need for restaurants, just grab a sandwich that lasts all day. Or cheap street food, or something from a hole in the wall. I love it there.

Check out what's required to smoke and make brisket for pastrami.

$30 sandwich

WTF are you insane?!?!

[–] celsiustimeline@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A large steak sandwich that takes a full day to prepare. Yes.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 0 points 10 months ago

If it took a full day to prepare it would cost $300, not $30
