Katz's Delicatessen

This guide to Katz's Delicatessen in New York City opens with the paper ticket you're handed at the door, and the fifty-dollar fine if you lose it. It centers on a 1989 afternoon when a film crew set up at a corner table for When Harry Met Sally, and Meg Ryan's character sat down and ordered a plain turkey sandwich on white bread, not the pastrami on rye regulars swear by. That table, marked with a small sign today, is worth finding before you order.
