Katz's deli

When Kate was here, on her last day I had to work all damn day and then go to a seminar and then lecture, and so she was left to her own devices. I told her to walk around the Lower East Side, where she went to the Tenement Museum and Katz's (good choices). While she was at Katz's, she sent me this text message: "This is the most confusing thing I have ever done." They have a bit of a system, see. Luckily, the system involves making montreal smoked meat (known here as pastrami) that melts in your mouth, and half-sour pickles. When you come to New York I am taking you here.
