“A great alternative to Katz is S&P Lunch. Similar old school NYC Jewish vibe but fewer tourists and more locals. Both places have great pastrami, tho S&P’s is more modest. S&P has a more extensive menu.”

replying to u/JayMoots: * Pastrami sandwich at S&P (near Flatiron building) or Italian hero from Diso's food truck * John's Pizza near Times Square (table service, whole pies only) or NY Pizza Suprema near Penn Station (slices, counter service) * Liberty Bagel or Ess-A-Bagel * Grand Central Oyster Bar... they have a decent martini, and you can always go to Campbell Apartment (also in Grand Central) afterward for a better one * OR... if it's a weekend you'll be here, Grand Central Oyster Bar is closed, so you should go and get oysters and a martini at the bar at La Grande Boucherie (just do a Google image search and you'll know why this is a good choice)
