What the creator captured
UA Eats was highly impressed by the pastrami sandwich, noting its tender, fatty texture and unique garlic-forward seasoning. He particularly praised the seeded rye bread as being superior to other famous delis and felt the restaurant successfully carried on the legacy of the iconic Carnegie Deli. Despite the sandwich's massive size, he found it so delicious that he ate most of it before even providing his commentary.

Local tips
- Use the OMNY contactless system to pay for subways and buses by simply tapping your phone or credit card at the turnstile.
- Walk on the right side of the sidewalk and step aside completely if you need to stop for photos or directions to avoid blocking the flow of foot traffic.
- Expect to tip between 18% and 22% at full-service restaurants, as gratuity is rarely included in the menu price and is a primary source of income for staff.
- Avoid entering a subway car that is completely empty when the rest of the train is crowded, as there is usually a practical reason like a lack of air conditioning or a strong odor.
