Katz's Delicatessen
This is the New York meal first-timers actually came for and don't know it yet. Get the hand-carved pastrami at the counter, not the table service. The ticket system trips everyone up.
1888 deli, the pastrami on rye that every other deli is measured against. Loud, cash-friendly, and worth the line.
