The owner is laughing because he's charging $25 a sandwich and the place is full, I'd be laughing my ass off too!!!

We don’t believe in changing anything but the cost

[Kumukunchi]

For those asking for the price of the sandwich:
$ 10 Beef on Rye
$ 20 Nostalgia

[jalico]

$30 for a sandwich pickle and drink... Its delicious no doubt about it, but it really has become a tourist trap.

“We treat it like a child. First we cook it long enough…”

You may think she's overreacting. She's not. A pastrami on rye with pickles on the side is a bucket list item. It was on mine. Literally just checked it off. Amazing place amazing food.

[SuperCrappyNinja]

Meanwhile, Schwartz’s in Montreal, equally legendary deli charges $10.75 CAD or $8 USD for their sandwich. Hands down best sandwich i have eaten.

One of the biggest tourist traps in nyc

[michaeljackson]

On my only trip to NY on my 1st US journey, a Reubens was on the agenda. Just went to any deli, near the General Post Office. A big, beautiful sandwich, a bag of roasted chestnuts and a cherry spritzer. Heaven. And that was 1991, and can still taste it all

[toeny]

"You're gonna get yelled at if you don't know what to order" so basically this tourist trap doesn't let helpless tourists ask for help or take their time

[BigWater]

Don''t forget cash because they don't take CC. $90 for 3 sandwiches....Only in NYC

[MrPpppppppppf]
