Connecticut has plenty of great "kosher style" restaurants. (Stock photo / March 20, 2013) |
Katz's Delicatessen, on Manhattan's East Houston Street, is the most nostalgic of New York's Jewish delis and a destination for food tourists and American Jews searching for their roots. Jared Goldstein of jaredthenyctourguide.com puts Katz's as the centerpiece of his "Jewish Lower East Side" tour, calling it "a regular-guy proto-deco neon light hand-painted signage cafeteria palace of delicious greasy salty pastrami and hot dogs." It is a role model for the New York style delis of Connecticut:
