""Katz's never kloses,"" which means that, if you've been partying on 6th Street and you want to get a bite to eat at 2 AM, it's about the only place you can go. But if it's earlier, and there's someplace else open, don't go to Katz's. The food just isn't very good. You'd think it would be impossible to mess up simple things like sandwiches or an egg cream (chocolate syrup and soda water), but Katz's manages to get even simple things wrong. Oh, don't get me wrong, nothing they serve is TERRIBLE- it's just mediocre. If it's late at night, and no place else is open, by all means, get a sandwich there. But don't go there if you have other options. There are numerous better places to get a sandwich.
