@Jett129 I am so sorry that we missed you yesterday, we were in meetings all afternoon yesterday but will definitely hold you to some stouts next time please!

Katz Deli for an early lunch and after a full day of showing our collection and meeting some lovely lovely people  we hit Ivan Ramen for some well-needed sustenance before winding down at PDT on St Marks Place, my favourite speakeasy located through a hidden wall in a phone booth inside a hot dog shop.

Pictures of Katz pastrami get me aroused. Dammit I want that sandwich.

Also PDT is rad but please tell me you've tried Crif Dogs! Fucking delicious!

I am really enjoying the b&w shots.  Side note: the price of the sandwich gave me sticker shock… ???

[goosehd]

…I don't think I've ever paid that much for a sandwich.  Is that normal for NYC?

[Alex]

New York has gone crazy for food prices, yeah. A side of fries in multiple restaurants we've been to this trip come in at $12 + taxes

[goosehd]

@Alex So that's for the sandwich alone and no sides…So If I wanted fries with the sandwich I'm looking at $40.00.

That's insane...

New York is always expensive, because it’s NYC

Ironically,all the years I’ve lived in NYC,I’ve never been to Katz’s. The,now defunct,Carnegie Deli was always my favorite,and Katz’s always seemed too touristy.

[Kasi]

Sorry but can’t help it.
Look like them 7.5oz tees

Them t-shirts will be available in Gosport anytime soon

@Alex

Thanks

I’ve been to Carnegie.  I think those sandwiches were about $30 back then in the 90s.  I also think they were bigger.

Maybe there's a side of fake orgasm in the next booth included in the price as well?

[Jett129]

The sandwiches at The Carnegie were never that expensive back then,and they definitely were bigger. I’m sure they’d be that expensive if they were still around.

[Matt]

I probably got fries

.      Not a Knish?

[Matt]

Maybe.  It was a long time ago. I definitely got a giant ass pickle.

[Jett129]

I think you probably could’ve used a comma in there somewhere.

My Dad took me to the Carnegie on my first trip to the City in 1988. He got a corned beef sandwich, and I got matzoh ball soup, and we shared. This old man was sitting at one of the little tables that was near to ours in the middle of the floor. He heard me whining to my dad that I didn’t really think I would like corned beef, and my Dad got me to try it. I reluctantly admitted it was “all right” but i didn’t really want any more. The guy calls over to us, and says “Have you ever tried pastrami? You’ll love it.” I said I hadn’t, and the guy calls somebody over to the table and sends them off for a plate heaped with hot pastrami, then sat there grinning like a cat until I tried a little bite. Even as a picky eight-year-old I could tell from the way my Dad acted that something was going down and I better like the pastrami, so I thanked the man, ate some, and said it was good! Better than the corned beef.

The man goes back to his newspaper or whatever, and my Dad says, “That guy is one of the owners of the Carnegie Deli”. He laughed at me for days because I was picking at the food and whining the whole time we were in there. [emoji23]

My Dad cannot to this day talk about that NY trip or delis without relating that story.
