First time in New York and was checking out places that I have heard about. I wanted to go here because of the reputation. And, I was in the mood for Corned Beef. We waited in line about 25 minutes before getting seated. Service was not extremely fast but considering the number of people in the place I think it was good. The pickles that they bring out are exceptional. I would have like to have had more of them. The Pastrami sandwich was huge (but I ate it all). Potato salad was okay - and the cheesecake for desert was very good - and a huge slice. The only problem I had was the price. $75 for 2 people to have lunch. Pastrami Sandwiches $19.99 each, potato salad $5 each, Ice tea $4, Lemonade $3, one slice of strawberry cheesecake $11.99, But with the deli's reputation, location and fame - I should have expected that. :-) Since they are closing I am really glad I got the opportunity to eat here at least once.
