Katz's on Houston and Ludlow is about a 10-15 minute walk and is worth the trip for Pastrami and such. You said bagel and lox, though — for that,you should go up the block to Russ & Daughters, Houston bet. Allen and...

The only place to have lunch is at Katz's Deli. You want ethnic, you got it!

I’ve found very good fish and chips at Allens, on Danforth nr Broadview. I had a very strong recommendation for the Duke of Richmond Pub, on James St (turns off of Queen, immediately W of Eaton Centre). Haven’t yet...

. You can probably do a search and find tons of info on the place. Have a great Holiday Season! Russ and Daughters 179 East Houston Street (between Allen and Orchard St- just a block up from Katz's) 212-475-4880, 800-787-7229 Mon-Fri...

. The first time, I hadn’t eaten in 24 hours, so I decided to go whole hog and order a Woody Allen. They weren’t kidding when they tried to describe it; even with my appetite, I only managed to get about 3/4 of the way...

I agree with various recommendations already made in this thread, especially Katz's. For Cantonese food, you’re close to Congee Village, which is on Allen St. just south of Delancey. A few blocks further down, between Canal...

-inducing morsels. Depending on our appetites, we may also stop at Lupa and/or Katz. A few notes: 1) He doesn’t eat fish. 2) I know that Shake Shack has received mixed reviews here, but it’s right up his alley. Shake...

Katz's sounds perfect to me after visting the Tenement Museum. It’s on East Houston & Ludlow Streets. The 7 of you can get anything from a hot dog to great sandwiches. If that doesn’t work for you, stay on East...

Katz's Deli! Or pick up knishes at Yonah Shimmel’s. I think they even have some small tables in the back, but I don’t want to swear to it. I’ve only ever dashed in & out, without looking at the decor.

I second that recommendation. I am curious though about Dish which is about 1 block and a half south on Allen. Possibly another option.

Can you give more information about your preferences and budget? Are you willing to travel to any neighborhood? Right off the bat, I would recommend Katz for pastrami and Joe’s for a slice of pizza. There are also numerous...

To be accurate, Russ & Daughters and Katz's are not “next door” to each other. Katz's is at 205 E. Houston St., corner Ludlow, and R&D is a block west at 179 E. Houston, b/t Orchard & Allen.

for a table anywhere on Sunday); dinners (only 2) at Allen & Delancey, Double Crown or Tailor. We will hit Katz' and Russ & Daughters on our way out of town. I know Freeman’s will not take a reservation for 2 so will there...

on Orchard and Allen St. and later moved to a larger space on Houston St. Katz's was on the cornor, we, Henry’s, were in the middle of the block. We had a wonderful symbiotic relationship, Katz's and Henry’s. My early...

Hands down Russ and Daughters on Houston St and I think Delancy (it is just west of Katz's). The bagels are perfectly adequate, but the fish is amazing. Make sure you try the whitefish and smoked salmon salad and at least a...
