    David’s is the only place with a Pastrami as soft as Katz’s. I think David’s is a solid second place, with all others a distant third.

  • replying to u/InSearchOfGoodPun: The question of whether Katz is "overpriced" can't be solely answered by the fact that it's a sandwich, how large it is, or even how good it is. It's more about alternatives: Are there places in the city where you can buy a comparable quality pastrami sandwich at a notably lower price? (I personally don't know the answer to this question.)

    Yes, David's Brisket House, almost $10 cheaper last I checked and they hand slice just like Katz and give you a comparable amount of meat
