The best pastrami sandwiches aren't in New York. They're at this retro deli, where the recipe and hand-carving of the meat hasn't changed since 1947. Sandwich 19 is the ultimate prize (peppery pastrami, Swiss cheese and coleslaw on double-baked rye). If you feel like mixing it up, opt for 'Soup and Half Sandwich' and swoon over both the sandwich and some matzo-ball soup.
