When Harry Met Sally... (1989)
Meg Ryan fakes it at a corner table and the woman next to her says "I'll have what she's having." The table has a sign over it now.
What to order
Pastrami on rye, hand-cut, with a full sour pickle and a cream soda
It would be on any list of New York's great delis without the movie: the pastrami is cut by hand at the counter, and the counterman's taster while you wait is part of the deal. In May 2026 it reopened the Ludlow Room, a dining room shut since 1949.
