Katz's Delicatessen
$$
DELI
Though visitors won't find many remnants of the classic, old-world-Jewish Lower East
Side dining scene, there are a few stellar holdouts, among them the famous Katz's Del-
icatessen, where Meg Ryan faked her infamous orgasm in the 1989 Hollywood flick
When
Harry Met Sally,
and where, if you love classic deli grub like pastrami and salami on rye,
it just might have the same effect on you.

Lavagna
$$
Flickering candles and the fiery glow from a somewhat open kitchen help make snug
Lavagna a late-night hideaway for lovers. In love or not, prepare to fall for the food, from
al dente pastas and thin-crust pizza to hearty, coaxing mains like tender baby rack of lamb.

The young and fashionable pack in to this dimly lit dining room with exposed white brick
and industrial touches. There's a loud buzz and people checking each other out, but the
mains, typical of the local-seasonal-haute pub fare fad, are worth your attention. Start off
with big briny oysters before moving on to beetroot and Swiss chard crumble or Atlantic
skate with honey crisp apples. Good vegetarian options.
