Katz's Deli is a Jewish delicatessen on the Lower East Side of New York City. Since its founding in 1888, it has become popular among locals and tourists alike for its pastrami sandwiches and hot dogs, both of which are widely considered among New York's best. Each week, Katz's serves 5,000 pounds of corned beef, 2,000 pounds of salami and 12,000 hot dogs.
During the Second World War, Katz's encouraged parents to "send a salami to your boy in the army" which became one of the deli's famous catch phrases, along with "Katz's, that's all!" which is still painted on the side of the building.
Katz's was the site of Meg Ryan's famous orgasm scene in When Harry Met Sally..., and of Johnny Depp's meeting with an FBI contact in Donnie Brasco. The deli has served its food to several U.S. presidents, including Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton.
Katz's is located at 205 E. Houston Street, on the south-west corner of Houston and Ludlow Streets, in Manhattan.
