You stand in line with twenty other starving souls. You nudge to the front of the line and the server slides a small dish your way with a piece of corned beef and a wedge of pickle to nibble on while he slices your sandwich. The pastrami and corned beef are handed sliced. You like lean...they got lean. You like fatty...they got fatty. You want New York Deli...this is New York Deli. Any place that uses a slicing machine for corned beef and pastrami might as well move to the suburbs. Katz's will still be in New York.
Pros: hand sliced, great corned beef
Cons: long lines, needs a face lift
