Katz s delicaessen is an Experience, not just a deli. You simply have not lived until you have eaten here! Potato Latkes, kasha knishes, and cheescake TO DIE FOR!! If you enjoy good Jewish food, the buzz of a very busy deli and a sprinkle of controlled chaos, GO HERE!!! Yes, you have to take a ticket and NOT LOSE your ticket, big whoop. So many kvetchers reviewing, sheesh! This system is not, as another reviewer stated antiquated , it is a fabulous self-service way to interact with not only the staff, but other customers.... Seize this opportunity! ....this IS PART of the Katz s Delicatessen experience. The food is worth waiting for, yes it s pricey ....beacuse it s New York City, and sooooo worth it. Keep your eyes peeled for celebrities and friendly unknowns . We had a lovely chat with our neighbors , that we wished would never end. Will ALWAYS return here, wish I lived next door!
