That location was Fine & Schapiro , there for over 90 years. I ate many times there. I remember jakie Mason was a regular. He would go to every table and chat. The old places are dying.
This happens like every video. The most expensive portion of the meal sits on the table forever... he eats like potatoes or something.. then complains the meat is cold. It's like .. bro.. come on. You can even see how good the meat looked as soon as it came out.. and how old and dry it looked by the time he ate it lol
@johnmalerba804 pastrami is supposed to be eaten warm or hot , all these youtubers be complaining that the food is cold or soggy be taking too long to eat it , like common why did you take 10 mins to take pics what kind of rookie is this ? Hahah it takes 30 seconds to take 30 pics plus the pics he took won't even get used on youtube , it gets posted on ig for 20 likes max ahhah
I think the reason the pastrami is not tender is because he went there at 10AM. Pastrami if it sits in a steamer for many urs. f y get there right when they open the pastrami came out of the refrigerator not the steamer. Go there at 3 or 4 PM and I'm sure you would taste significantly better, more tender meat....
Nah, not really. Pastrami has to he juicy and hot. No matter what time of the day you go. As soon as I saw the thin slices, I knew it was going to be tough.
Normally, UA does a great job eating the food hot. This video he tried the Matzo Ball soup and Egg Cream pretty quickly. There's something with UA and pastrami sandwiches where there's a lot more commentary before taking a bite. UA, please take one bite of the pastrami while it's still hot, and then we'd love to hear all the thoughts you have!
thanks for the review, I’m visiting new york in april next year I definitely will go to pastrami queen deli for a chocolate agg cream and pastrami sandwich and a garlic fries
agreed! nowhere else compares to Carnegie. had pastrami queen on my last visit and it was very good. thin slicing preferred, fat beads out of meat better.
Just by looking at the sandwich, it did not appear that good. I suspect there is a reason why they slice it so thin, relative to other pastrami delis in NYC. Stick with Sarge's in midtown
Not even close bro. If you are judging by the pastrami sandwiches, it’s Katz firmly at the top, then pastrami queen then second ave then sarges. All are good but pastrami queen is the closest to Katz.
I live on the UES and the one up here is easily the best pastrami in NYC. I put Hershel's in Reading Terminal as #1 and Pastrami Queen a close 2nd. Not sure how the UWS one is, but the Pastrami Queen on the UES is perfect.
One of the best places to eat Eastern European Foods in New York CIty. This one looks decent however I can suggest a better place for eating Pastrami in Europe.
im thrilled they have a location in the train station, ill stop there anytime they're open. i agree about the pastrami, very solid but not great. the brisket and corned beef are extremely good.
You were right across from la Dinastia Cuban Chinese food you have to try them. And make a series on Latino Chinese fusion cuisine i.e. Cuban, Dominican, Peruvian, Chinese restaurants you will love them. I grew up on them in the UWS. Fusion food at its finest. In Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens Brooklyn and New Jersey.
Always important to remember with pastrami, the price point is generally from all of the time it takes to turn a raw brisket into a pastrami which on an average is between 2-3 weeks with the pickling process. Now obviously this is a general estimate being that the prep times will differ from restaurant to restaurant. Even the best restaurant have off days.
The sandwiches make me want to visit NYC just to check out all the different places! Never heard of an egg cream, I had an egg coffee in Vietnam, is it similar?
A New York egg cream is just milk, chocolate syrup (it really should be U-Bet brand syrup), and seltzer (carbonated) water. It contains no egg, nor cream. The one UA had at that place was not a real egg cream because the milk had to have been dairy free, probably almond or oat. Since Pastrami Queen is kosher, they cannot serve any dairy products with their meat products.
@@BigAl72ZGE thanks for the information! Always good to learn something new, it does look good though. Next time I'm in NYC I'll try one, any recommendations?
Langers in LA is still # 1 in regards to there rye bread we agree to disagree Langers bakes and slices their in my opinion one of the best kosher ryes on the planet . Katz’s would be my 2nd choice I’m a little biased as that’s how my family made our seed money before selling out our portion a generation ago but the last time I was there I was actually going to Russ & Daughters to get their amazing fresh baked bagels with a light shmear and some of the finest Nova Scotia Salmon as well as some Matjes Herring and a few other breakfast treats but technically I can bypass the line at both Katz’s and Russ & Daughters but the line was just so huge we didn’t want to get killed even using our no line VIP status lol 😂. So we decided to have an early Sunday Brunch at Katz’s and for the first time it was very disappointing I actually only had one or 2 bites from my Pastrami as well as my Nephew we packed almost everything to go and handed the leftovers to a few homeless men in front outside with a few cups of fresh coffee . So majority of the time you can’t go wrong with Katz’s but every iconic joint has a few bad moments especially since the Dale family bought it as well as Sarges . The last time I ate at Sarges a few years ago it was filthy and the food was inedible. Keep up the great work UA . I’ve been watching your channel since it was a newborn infant and I enjoy all your reviews. Congratulations on the full time Vlogging Gig 🎉. Sincerely Robert Katz
The mushroom barley soup is very good. When my wife and I go there, one of us always has the mushroom barley soup. The egg cream is also made correctly at PQ. The pastrami is very lean. I order brisket or tongue more often than the pastrami.
I had its pastrami & beef tongue in the Lex store. I rank both as the best I have had in NYC including Katz's. Very tender & moist. I went there late in the day.
I love pastrami and let me tell you this; if you're craving pastrami the only way to skip eating it at Katz deli is if you need to take a plane to do it, but if you got the money to so go ahead it's worth it 👌🏼
Just so you know, 2nd Ave and Pastrami Queen are legitimate Jewish delis because they are actually certified Kosher. Katz's, Sarge's and most others are Jewish style delis, they are Jewish style deli's because they aren't certified Kosher. The meat that Pastrami Queen, 2nd Ave, Ben's Kosher, Liebman's and several others use are Kosher and supervised so that you can count on cleanliness and the highest possible standard for meat. As far as the soup, I am not sure what you're complaining about in terms of the portion size, you almost never see two Matzoh balls in the soup and the bowl looks like a pretty generous size. Also, I don't know why you think clear broth is the best for Matzoh Ball soup. The broth in my opinion, should be full of fresh herbs especially parsley, dill and pepper. When I make Matzoh Ball soup, it's full of fresh herbs and I serve it with chopped parsnip, carrot and celery. It's much heartier and in my opinion, better tasting soup. Also not sure why you think the egg cream is not healthy. It's made from pure chocolate syrup, it's not actually loaded with artificial syrup and there is no dairy in the egg cream. There actually couldn't be dairy because Kosher restaurants that serve meat cannot also serve dairy. It's probably a lot healthier than regular soda.
@@alexbarretto4925 You missed the point. Maybe it doesn't matter to you but it's like calling a Japanese restaurant a Chinese restaurant because they're both Asian. Wrong is wrong.
@@alexbarretto4925 that's an entirely different topic. For some people, the difference between Kosher and Non-Kosher is the difference between eating food and eating poison. You don't understand. It's got nothing to do with flavor.
Brutal! Don't name yourself Pastrami Queen if you aren't slinging some 🔥 pastrami. Ah well, still worth knowing about. If I can propose a few other possible UWS destinations: La Dinastia vs Flor de Mayo (Latin-Chinese NYC institutions), Joe's Steam Rice Roll (Cheung fun), Made in New York pizza, and Jacob's Pickles
Langer's in LA is the spot for us here on the west coast. Simply delicious. There's a family owned chain with a hand full of locations called "The Hat". I find their sandwiches salty. Not nearly as good as Langer's. Langer's is like artisanal high quality. The Hat is quicker version. It's good but not as special as Langer's. Also, one of the key things The Hat is good for is their chili cheese fries. You have to get it with all of the toppings (onions, tomatoes and pickles) imo. The last time I went thought the portion sizes have noticeably diminished by maybe 20%. Prices have gone up and portion sizes are down. Still worth a shot.
A good egg cream uses U-Bet chocolate syrup and a good balance with the seltzer. My favorite deli near me: Pastrami N Friends, Commack NY (Long Island)
I dont know how NYC does it, but their cheap eats are AMAZING!!! I just got back from Manhattan, and I can honestly say, THEY HAVE THE BEST CHEAP SLICES OF PIZZA IN THE US!!! How can something for only $1.50 TASTE SO GOOD???
UA the matzo ball soup bowl may have been smaller but it came with two matzo balls while in all other episodes you got only one ball! I love matzo balls soup and my main complaint is that they (the restaurants) only serve one ball.
Looks like a great a sandwich for $13 but but…. any pastrami sandwich the rye bread absolutely must be toasted adds more flavor. Keep up the great videos UA, thank you 😊
I can remember the old Pastrami Queen on 3rd ave, I often use the location they moved to at 78th and Lexington. I did hear they opened a UWS store. The pastrami here does not look much like what is served at 78th. Also I'm amazed at the bread, looks much blander than what I'm used to. Please understand I am not objecting at all to your comments which seem totally fair about this place, which seems a much more pleasant dining environment compared to 78th St, which is a horror and even take out is a mess. To be honest, I doubt many New Yorkers (at least in my age group) do not make pilgrimages to pastrami shops. If on the LES, maybe Katz's or used to be 2nd Ave deli. If you live in the E 70s or 80s, Pastrami Queen. If you're going to one of the clinics in the 30's, maybe Sarge's. Too bad no more Carnegie Deli.
Never been to the west side location. I have only being to the Upper East Side Pastrami Queen location. And let me tell you, the East Side place looks better than that.
My wife, son and I got a pastrami at Katz's and couldn't finish it between us. I call that a bargain. The best I ever had. Excuse me while I smash a guitar.
Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson famously spoke on a public phone at the 72nd Street subway station. As far as Pastrami Queen, I definitely need to pay a visit. Usually in that area, I would get sushi at Kumos or stop at Cold Stone for shakes. The pastrami prices are a bit crazy. Knish Nosh on Queens Blvd is a ripoff and they don’t offer what this place does (plus they’re not in Manhattan). But it seems you really can’t win price wise at a lot of old school delis.
I believe you can request hand sliced and you certainly can ask for it to be served warm. Also as someone whose father had an old school candy store with a fountain when I was a kid I can tell you a couple things: - best enjoyed without a straw - should have a white head if made properly. In addition traditionally a Dr Brown's soda or a hot tea would be the traditional beverages with Jewish deli meats. I suggest you try a cream soda with some milk added as a great substitute for a vanilla egg cream. And have you tried a tongue sandwich...also request it warm and I suggest requesting some onion for and Jewish deli dandwich. I also found their matza ball soup very bland...2nd Ave deli is far superior
When are you going to check out Empire's Steakhouse on 50th Street in Manhattan? The food and service is amazing! The calamari, Lamb, Porterhouse and sides ate fantastic 💯❤️. If you go tell the manager Puma sent you and you'll be treated like a king 😅
14 dollars for a half sandwich that's only meat, bread and nothing else is breaking the bank. i'd expect a 10 inch grinder fully loaded for that price.
Alt 19 and Alderman? I use to work near there right by the Publix? Pinellas county I use to reside in Dunedin. A call center Talk America/ Cavalier Telephone.
Yeah yellow mustard squirt it into the meat not in the bread. That’s the trick. Pastrami sandwich needs mustard. That’s how it started out. But I’ve noticed the yellow stuff squirted in or in the meat. Not the bread makes a difference in my opinion.
I think you should try the original on the Upper East Side ....The original is on the Upper East Side on Lexington Avenue... it has a whole different taste to it... although it is owned by the same organization... same place the one on the upper west side is recently opened...it took over another Jewish deli ...the one on East side has had that crew together for many years... I suggest you go to the one on the Upper East Side then I have the best onion rings and french fries I've ever had in New York ...people Rave about this delion the UES... you can't even get a seat it's a tiny place on the Upper East Side... Pastrami Queen is kosher...Katz is not Kosher and the meat it's not kosher they call it kosher Style...lol A restaurant is either kosher or not Kosher ...... There's another great real kosher deli in Williamsburg call Gottliebs... I suggest you go to try it out... Katz is laughable Customers think they are going to a kosher deli and wait on line pay for expensive kosher meat and it's not kosher at all LOL
It’s reasonable that a restaurant/deli undersalts if a lot of their client/customer base is elderly and have to carefully monitor salt intake.
That location was Fine & Schapiro , there for over 90 years. I ate many times there. I remember jakie Mason was a regular. He would go to every table and chat. The old places are dying.
'Cause the old people are dying.
Great review, but do you think the meat would have been warmer if it hadn't sat on the table for over 7 minutes, lol?

agreed! nowhere else compares to Carnegie. had pastrami queen on my last visit and it was very good. thin slicing preferred, fat beads out of meat better.

It's in how they prepare the pastrami that translates how they can slice it. It's really lean

I love Gray’s Papaya. Next time I’m in Manhattan, I’m gonna have to look for Pastrami Queen.
Grey's Papaya, Yes. Pastrami Queen pass, better off with 2nd Avenue Deli
Next time go there in the afternoon. The Pastrami needs many hours in the steam table to maximize the tenderness of the meat.
i ate egg creams 55 yrs ago at my candy store good also u can take food leftover at the place if you got a full sandwich
i shred and refry on the pan i cant chew lak teeth
$11 for a matzah ball soup is outrageous. Easy to prepare and every ingredient is dirt cheap.

Yeah but you're not preparing it in premium Manhattan, Upper West Side real estate.
Nothing is dirt cheap... these days

You spend so much time reviewing the chocolate milk, the soup went cold, sandwich went cold. You yap too much bud
This is what I great review! Love your style also. Keep up the great work! Glad I found you.
Another honest review, I'm going to New York in November so these are invaluable to me right now.
Katz’s Deli on Houston has the best pastrami and corned beef in the city
Stay out of Times Square unless you are seeing a Bway show. It’s a tourist trap. You want to go to the individual neighborhoods.
One of the best places to eat Eastern European Foods in New York CIty. This one looks decent however I can suggest a better place for eating Pastrami in Europe.
You have to get a Dr Browns CelRay Soda with those sandwiches lol
Unfortunately the pastrami looked dry
When I went, I felt it operated 😢
@Abefroman1812Ai will fix that.

The sandwich got cold because you spent too much time on the egg cream and the soup.

Usually in that area, I would get sushi at Kumos or stop at Cold Stone for shakes. The pastrami prices are a bit crazy. Knish Nosh on Queens Blvd is a ripoff and they don’t offer what this place does (plus they’re not in Manhattan). But it seems you really can’t win price wise at a lot of old school delis.
They were also in Tompkins Square Park with the fountain to fill the jugs of water.
PJ Bernstein 3 rd Ave. Best matzo ball soup and pastrami and corn beef in NYC. Please get a Met or Yankee hat.
Hi UA! Great vid! Love watching your food reviews
His reviews pop up in my feed all the time!
You HAVE TO do a chocolate egg cream and a Dr. Brown's Black Cherry Soda..Matzoh Ball Soup & a BRISKET sandwich
i think UA stands for Pastrami and Steak somehow.
😮
I believe you can request hand sliced and you certainly can ask for it to be served warm.
Also as someone whose father had an old school candy store with a fountain when I was a kid I can tell you a couple things:
- best enjoyed without a straw
- should have a white head if made properly.
In addition traditionally a Dr Brown's soda or a hot tea would be the traditional beverages with Jewish deli meats.
I suggest you try a cream soda with some milk added as a great substitute for a vanilla egg cream.
And have you tried a tongue sandwich...also request it warm and I suggest requesting some onion for and Jewish deli dandwich.
I also found their matza ball soup very bland...2nd Ave deli is far superior
Nothing like a good pastrami love ❤️ it
David's Brisket House in Nostrand Ave Brooklyn is underrated. Def top 5 of the city.
When are you going to check out Empire's Steakhouse on 50th Street in Manhattan? The food and service is amazing! The calamari, Lamb, Porterhouse and sides ate fantastic 💯❤️. If you go tell the manager Puma sent you and you'll be treated like a king 😅
PLEASE try Pastrami Bistro in Garfield, NJ
The 1/2 sandwich will fill you up and not break the Bank !
Need to go for the full!
14 dollars for a half sandwich that's only meat, bread and nothing else is breaking the bank. i'd expect a 10 inch grinder fully loaded for that price.
David's Brisket House has the nest pastrami, period in New Yotk.. Every bit as good as Katz ai a more reasonable price tag.
The head hasnt receded much 😂
Edwards steakhouse, Jersey City, just ate there again this past weekend, soooo goooood
Great video but old time native new Yorkers know you don't drink an egg cream with a straw.
It sounds like the meat was leftover from a couple of days ago or it wasn't cooked correctly.
Unfortunately, it's how they make it
It was leftover from days ago
Is there a phone booth nearby and a guy called Simon?
Have you tried Hershel's East Side Deli in The reading terminal market Pa. One of my fav.
we have a loio deli in lido beach long island near long breach
Katz's delicatessen is the best, its on 2nd Avenue in the lower Eastside of Manhattan ❤
AGREED
No it’s not….!!
It’s on Houston at Ludlow
Katz has half sandwich deal with a soup too buts it’s $23.00 dollars
Same price then
Thanks for the review.
I liked the Lucky Dill in Palm Harbor Florida is good
Alt 19 and Alderman? I use to work near there right by the Publix? Pinellas county I use to reside in Dunedin. A call center Talk America/ Cavalier Telephone.
@@ManChan-w5p Nice to know you have heard of it. Great Pastromi there.
I want to try the soup. Thanks UA!
diners have this soup i ball or 2 ask for no noodles and more broth easy to make at home from mix
Wow you destroyed them with this review. Next time you go back, they'll have your picture on the wall so they won't let you in. LOL!
If they have his picture on the wall they'll go out of business
Go Birds!
Was the pastrami even brisket cut? Could lit be like sirloin made into pastrami?
Different cut
4:00 "No burgers or burritos," he says as the camera is centered on burgers.
Just teasing, but that was funny.
Editing and maybe forgot his glasses?
My mistake! I just didn't see it. But at least I was right about there being no burritos
@@uaeats lol
Like this guys vids, doubt he's an Eagles fan tho, if he was he'd be throwing feces at random people in his videos
@@uaeatsdo a burritos video 🌯
I like honest reviews, even if the restaurant owner might not.
Let's see how honest he gets when he goes to Harlem.

LMFAO@@nilobeebee
Yeah yellow mustard squirt it into the meat not in the bread. That’s the trick. Pastrami sandwich needs mustard. That’s how it started out. But I’ve noticed the yellow stuff squirted in or in the meat. Not the bread makes a difference in my opinion.
I think you should try the original on the Upper East Side ....The original is on the Upper East Side on Lexington Avenue... it has a whole different taste to it... although it is owned by the same organization... same place the one on the upper west side is recently opened...it took over another Jewish deli ...the one on East side has had that crew together for many years...
I suggest you go to the one on the Upper East Side then I have the best onion rings and french fries I've ever had in New York ...people Rave about this delion the UES... you can't even get a seat it's a tiny place on the Upper East Side...
Pastrami Queen is kosher...Katz is not Kosher and the meat it's not kosher they call it kosher Style...lol
A restaurant is either kosher or not Kosher ......
There's another great real kosher deli in Williamsburg call Gottliebs... I suggest you go to try it out... Katz is laughable Customers think they are going to a kosher deli and wait on line pay for expensive kosher meat and it's not kosher at all LOL
That soup costs about .75 cents to make at home!
These prices are ridiculous what is this world coming
to . Everyone has lost their minds!
Biden's economic policies in action.
I just watched a video at Katz's Deli and a Ruben was $35.
Probably for two if they are not big eaters.
UA in da house
It’s 76 down here in SC
That's too warm!
