Best Iconic Foods of New York

Pastrami and Corned Beef Sandwich -- Those who arrive in New York City for the first time are often happily directed to Katz's Deli, founded in 1888 and dating to the German (and German-Jewish) heyday of the Lower East Side. The multiplicity of beef brisket presentations is amazing in itself, but load up a sandwich of smoky pastrami and briny brisket on rye or a club roll and experience cured-meat nirvana. The pickles are free (choose a combo of half-sour, sour, and pickled green tomatoes), and you don't need anything else except for a can of Cel-Ray soda. (That means skip the limp, greasy fries. Believe me, you don't need the calories.)
