    I'm sure native NYers might have more 'inside' preferences, but I like to go to the Carnegie when I'm in the city.

    I heard the sandwich was fit for a king. Here King!

    It's fashionable to disparage the Carnegie as a tourist spot, but I prefer their corned beef. Katz's for pastrami, Carnegie for corned beef. People used to tout me endlessly on 2nd Avenue Deli, and it profoundly disappointed me.

    I grew up around plenty of Jewish delis. I would get the hot corned beef sandwich then a pound of cold pastrami for later. I know, I know, cold pastrami is treasonous. But it's pretty damn good, too.

    The Katz's hot dogs are the best.

    Katz's is down in the Village?
    I've never been there.
    I don't want my pastrami or corned beef cut thick. I want it sliced thin.

    Lower East Side ... Houston and Ludlow. Home of immigrants piled on top of each other at the turn of the century when the original restaurant opened.

    It was the home the "I'll have what she's having" fake orgasm scene in When Harry Met Sally. I haven't gone in there in years and I wouldn't eat anything from there, but the reputation is way overpriced and dirty.

    I prefer my pastrami thinly sliced and stacked with immigrants.

    I couldn't remember where it was.
    I'd try it, but when I get to NYC every few years, I'm not normally in the Lower East Side.

    Have any of you ever been to Rein's? It's a deli in (of all places) Vernon, Connecticut off of I-84. Excellent corned beef, just OK pastrami, but it stands out due to its weird location.

    Don't even get me started on Olive Garden. :)

    Oh, you and Huggy had the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl together there. Don't fib.
