Profile

Since it first opened in 1937, this deli-cum-schmaltz-fest has become a tourist’s answer to the “authentic” New York experience. Order from a menu big enough to line a birdcage and munch on complimentary half- and full-sour pickles while the likes of Mario Van Peebles and Vicki Laurence smile at you from the headshot bedecked walls. The corned beef and pastrami—staples at any self-respecting deli—rest on some pretty old laurels (New York magazine named them best in the city…in 1975!), but they’ve still got legs. But beware...the portions match the prices at this vulgarian delight, which has the audacity to charge $21.95 for a Ruben sandwich—albeit, a Ruben sandwich with about a pound of corned beef and Swiss cheese combined. — Gabriella Gershenson

My wife and I found the service awful. Didn't even leave a tip! The wait staff were rude and disrespectful. Food is okay but extremely overpriced. Would never go back there. There are so many much, much better deli's around NYC, where the food is better and the service like you would expect. George and Louise (Sydney, Australia)

I understand the min. charge as that is stated on the menu, but my waiter said I could not have a smaller meal and dessert. He was extremely rude and stated to me dessert did not count as part of the min. charge. I think when he heard my Southerm accent, he went in for the kill. I know about the reputation but this went beyond entertainment this was creepy. I ate at many nice NY Restaurants with good food and very nice staff one owner came out in upper West side to welcome us to NY Love the city
