Katz's Delicatessen

$$ eat deli Downtown

Since 1888 and still hand-carving pastrami to order — the ticket system, the counter guys, the whole machine works. A ~$28 sandwich that genuinely feeds two.

Order: Pastrami on rye, mustard only, with a full sour pickle plate; tip the cutter a couple bucks and you'll get a taste while you wait. Don't lose your ticket.

Verified open Aug 2026 (katzsdelicatessen.com + Yelp updated Aug 2026); open to 11pm+, 24h into the weekend

Kiki's

$$ eat greek Downtown

No-sign Greek taverna under the Manhattan Bridge that Dimes Square grew up around — huge portions, honest prices, always packed. Michelin Bib Gourmand and still $25 a head.

Order: Grilled octopus, mizithra-topped Greek salad, and the lemony roasted potatoes; go early or expect a wait, no reservations.

Verified open Aug 2026 (Yelp updated Aug 2026 + kikisnyc.com); daily from noon, till midnight Tue-Sat

Nom Wah Tea Parlor

$$ eat dim sum Downtown

Oldest continuously running restaurant in Chinatown (1920), on the crooked-elbow block of Doyers Street. Dim sum off a menu, not carts — quality is more consistent for it.

Order: The original 'OG' egg roll and shrimp-and-snow-pea-leaf dumplings; get scallion pancake with egg if it's brunch hour.

Verified open Aug 2026 (nomwah.com + Yelp updated Jul 2026); daily 11am-9pm, weekend waits are real
