We live north of Boston and my wife and I have joked about (but we still might some day) drive to Katz's for pastrami sandwiches and then drive right back home. Since the pandemic started, whenever we're in NYC, we stay in the Lower East Side / Bowery / Chinatown area rather than Times Square so we have breakfast and lunch (and even supper) at Katz's. For breakfast, you have to try their LEO.
