664941 Thu Nov 05 11:10:40 -0800 2009 8 18 Manhattan 0 5158498 I'm dying for a pastrami sandwich, or maybe corned beef- either way I need a good deli downtown. I thought Katz's, but then read the reviews on trip advisor. I'm a bit leery now. I could use some help! Thank you!

Fri Nov 06 12:00:20 -0800 2009 5158843 1101870 bhein 3 5164177 I like to wait on line - and it doesn't take a long time - but when I've had waiter service at Katz's, I've made it clear that I wanted a nice, juicy pastrami sandwich, and got one. You'll be fine. And if what comes isn't to your liking, send it back. Sat Nov 07 18:18:35 -0800 2009 5161479 17058 Pan 1 5164186 Given your requirements, it would be silly not to go to Katz'... You can sit and get great service from the waiters.

And make sure to ask for tomato pickles as well as regular ones (sour or/and half sour, as you like). Sun Nov 08 02:30:11 -0800 2009 5164201 17058 Pan 4 5176377 Thank you everyone! Went to Katz's, got waiter service (the lines were longish, but I did notice they moved quickly) had good service and LOVED my Pastrami. The half sours are crazy good, too.
