"I'll have what she's having"
I went there as a tourist… which girl wouldn’t want to after seeing Meg Ryan perform her memorable little act in “When Harry Met Sally”? J/K. :) Though this place in reality is more like a run-down cafeteria and does not resemble the diner in the movie, let alone inspiring the “what she’s having” sentiment. :)
The checkout system is somewhat confusing. You have to know where to line up and to remember to keep the ticket until the end of your meal. But if you do visit New York as a tourist, you can certainly consider stopping by for a meal and a “I lost my ticket at Katz’s” t-shirt as a souvenir. :)
Though there’s no doubt that the meats are tasty! This is the kind of Deli that we Seattleites do not see often enough.

this is a Must Eat Here kind of place
great place. come in get a ticket, then order and sit.
they have the table where Sally sat with Harry in the movie and it says “hope you’re having what she’s having” the line was adlibbed – either Billy Crystal or the director’s mother was sitting in as an extra and the film was rolling when she said that so they included it in the film.
for vegetarians, potato pancakes, egg salad sandwich and a couple of other things.
Guy at the counter started talking to me as if he knew me – he thought I was someone else. He told me I looked like Harry Potter and asked me where the guys that I usually come in with are. There gotta be a hundred guys that look like me here.
Dishes I tried:
Tuna Sandwich and pickle
Lots and lots of tuna on it. Egg salad would have been cheaper. Had it on rye bread or whatever the standard bread was. I can’t get sour dough bread here, but I can get pumpernickel which I can’t get in SF

The place is a pretty famous NYC institution....
The place is a pretty famous NYC institution. Prices are a little on the higher side, but you get a good meal with decent proportions. As a visitor, I’m not sure if I would go out of my way to go here again, since there are so many other places to try.
