Having lived in NYC nearly all my life I’ve been fortunate enough to have eaten at both of theses places several times over the years. Absolutely loved them both. I’ve since retired and moved away and miss this type of food every day.

I luckily lived not far from the city most of my life and have eaten at many popular NYC restaurants over my years. Sylvia’s fried chicken was definitely in the top three I’ve ever eaten for sure lol. Katz is a different kind of place obviously. As you know too well it’s a tourist trap and their prices are insane - but Christ almighty their sandwiches are delicious. I have my mouth watering just thinking about those pastrami and mustard lol

@@chrisdooley6468 I completely agree. It was a good sandwich, no doubt. But overall a waste of time and money. I mean c’mon, is it really worth waiting in a line that goes down the street for a $25 pastrami on rye? It was nice to experience once, but I’m never going back.

This is a pretty old clip. Unfortunately, Sylvia passed away in 2012. I'm pretty sure her family is keeping up the tradition, though.
