Consider it for a deli lunch that is the main plan. Check the in-store menu when budgeting; this marker is editorial, not a fixed bill.
Our take
Let lunch take up some room in the day. Katz’s menu puts hand-carved hot sandwiches at its centre, alongside soups and other deli dishes. Read the current in-store menu before you arrive; a sandwich price is not a complete meal budget.
The restaurant publishes continuous weekend opening from Friday morning through Sunday evening. Its regular hours and announced Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve exceptions are recorded below. This introduction is based on official information, not a first-hand meal review. The cover shows the exterior in 2019.
