YESTERDAY WAS MICE, TODAY KATZ!

My partner and I made a business trip into Manhattan recently to meet a potential partner in our new business Russell’s Tour & Event Planning.



The meeting went great, we have a new association with a great touring group called ADVENTURE TOURS, whom we will work with in the near future. I will write more on the tours and ADVENTURE TOURS in particular at a later date.





We met Ike and his lovely wife, who run ADVENTURE TOURS, at the famous NY City deli: KATZ, the Jewish Deli that has been the place for film makers to make some of the more memorable movies and scenes, such as ‘When Harry Met Sally’, and that famous scene where Sally overly professes her love.



This is pure NYC deli, the sparkling snappy attitude that so make New York City what she is. It is brash, fun, and historic, being established way back in 1888! The same building, the same location, still professing that I should, or we all should: “Send a salami to your son in the army,” coined back in the war years of the 1940’s. It is fast, crowded but a good crowded if there is such a thing. It says: “You are in the Big Apple!”



It is part of the beautiful cultural fabric, woven into the Jewish immigrant patch that sits next to the Italian and Chinese patches that make the history of NYC so interesting and fun.



The menu is strictly deli, Jewish deli, with knishes, kosher dill and pastrami, corned beef piled high and truly great hot dogs all, with the blessing of a rabbi. You have the rye to cover most of it, the matzo ball soup if you like that and it is just a great way to live for a change!



So if you wish to have a NYC experience, try a little deli, try Katz, you’ll thank me.

Great place for gigantic pastrami, corned beef and brisket sandwiches. Luckily, all the waiters know CPR.
