10 Iconic NYC Restaurants To Visit When Social Distancing Is Over | Legendary Eats Marathon

On March 17, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio ordered all bars and restaurants in the city to close or serve only delivery and takeout in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. To pass the time during social distancing or potential quarantine, Insider is taking a look back at some of our favorite New York City eateries. From pizza and hot dogs to pastrami sandwiches and falafel, the Big Apple is never short of legendary places to eat. We visited 10 iconic restaurants in New York to see what makes these places a rite of passage for locals and tourists alike.

    Seriously I hope he’s doing what he loves because he looks like he needs a break. He should hire someone he can entrust his fortune too. May not be worth billions but his hearts worth that.

    I worked at Katz's Deli in 1968 for exactly 2 hours. Lol! I tried out for being the cashier there, but I wasn't fast enough for the lunch hour, which in that part of town was absolutely crazy! After they told me they couldn't hire me, I was offered to select anything I wanted for lunch. I had a corned beef on rye, huge side of fries! I can STILL taste that sandwich! So awesome! Great people too! Dying to go back someday!

    Ray is the embodiment of New York City ... My friend's dad came to the US with $75 to his name and nothing else. He opened Mamoun's Falafel, not far from Ray's, which was one of the first of its kind and often makes these kinda lists. They say if you can make it in NY, you can make it anywhere, and guys like Ray and my friend's dad prove that to be true.
