During my weekend stay over out East, I had a chance to eat some really good food, and I do mean really good food.  But there was one thing I absolutely had to try, and that my friends was the New York style pizza.  So I did a little research, (I mean Google search) and explored, making my stops at a couple of fan favorites.  Brooklyn’s Grimaldis and East Village’s Artichoke - along with many other “bargain basement” type pizzerias on the corners of every street.  Coming from Chicago, we take great pride in our pizzeria and any true Chicagoan will definitively tell you that our pizza is “by far, the best pizza in the WORLD”.  So the basis of my journey, really, was to make peace with this claim that I’ve been indiscreetly contributing to. So which is better you ask?  Ill just say, Giordanos stuffed pizza.

However, I will make another grand claim and say that New York has some of the best Deli’s in the world.  Yea I said it.  And the basis of this claim is located on the Lower East Side of New York - Kat’z Deli.

The exterior, nothing you’d expect.

Their famous Pastrami Sandwich, not quite what I expected either.  I didn’t know meat could actually melt in your mouth.

Paired up with some baked beans.

And wedge fries.

And some pickles, it makes one great meal.

This kinda sums it up.
