6. Katz’s Delicatessen

Since 1888, Katz’s has been located at the intersection of East Houston and Ludlow Streets, and only the pastrami is a New York staple. The large, cafeteria-style dining area is frequently busy, so customers must be familiar with the layout. Get in line, don’t forget to smile and tip the slicer (they may give you an additional piece to munch on), and, under any circumstances, save that ticket.

…psst! If you’re going to visit New York this year but you don’t know where to start, get ready with this awesome travel guide. It’s a best-seller, and it’s available on Amazon for a special price.
