Opened in 1888, this landmark of a Jewish deli in the historic immigrant neighborhood of the Lower East Side is a mammoth caféteria-style spot with the opportunity for great people-watching---the famous scene in When Harry Met Sally was filmed here. Vintage signs adorn the walls with outdated slogans like, Send a Salami to Your Boy in the Army. You can get table service, but the most authentic way to go here is to take a ticket at the door, which employees at the counter punch with the prices as you order things to eat. Our recommendations: the grilled hot dogs and the hand-sliced corned beef that's as lean---and as good---as it gets.
