pastrami sandwich in New York

4 places for pastrami sandwich in New York, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Katz's Delicatessen — National Geographic, Jon Barr
  Praised the pastrami, cured for up to 30 days, for slicing like butter even stacked 20 layers high, with smoking and steaming ensuring not a single slice loses its seasoning.
• Shelsky's Of Brooklyn Appetizing and Delicatessen — TOPJAW
  Praised the old-school bagels made with a sourdough starter for their chewy texture and crisp crust, along with New York's largest selection of smoked fish.
  Heads up: They apparently never toast their bagels here.
• David's Brisket House — Jon Barr
  A budget-friendly pastrami option, and unusual for New York, you can choose your portion size.
• Sarge’s Delicatessen & Diner — Jon Barr
  Said to be more local and taste better than Katz's, at similar prices.
