Katz’s Delicatessen
Though visitors won’t find many remnants of the classic, old-world-Jewish Lower East Side dining scene, there are a few stellar holdouts, among them the famous Katz’s Delicatessen, where Meg Ryan faked her famous orgasm in the 1989 Hollywood flick When Harry Met Sally, and where, if you love classic deli grub like pastrami and salami on rye, it just might have the same effect on you.

Barney Greengrass
The self-proclaimed ‘King of Sturgeon’ Barney Greengrass serves up the same heaping dishes of eggs and salty lox, luxuriant caviar, and melt-in-your mouth chocolate babkas that first made it famous when it opened a century ago. Pop in to fuel up in the morning or for a quick lunch; there are rickety tables set amid the crowded produce aisles.
In addition to an array of Jewish delicacies (seriously, try the smoked sturgeon), you can, of course, get a perfect New York bagel. On weekends, it has have fresh garlic bialys (a type of chewy, baked roll).

Sarge's Deli
Sarge's is the underdog of historic Manhattan delis, leaving the tourists to its more famous rivals. It's like a scene from a ’70s sitcom: brown vinyl booths filled with weathered cabbies, loud-mouthed businessmen and neurotic couples. Eavesdrop 24/7 over a pastrami sandwich, blintzes and matza-ball chicken soup, but leave room for the pornographically good strawberry cheesecake – one slice is enough for two.
