NEW YORK - Katz's Delicatessen has been urging customers to "send a salami to your boy in the Army" for generations. Now, the New York City restaurant, where everyone's favorite scene from When Harry Met Sally was shot, is expanding its shipping capacity so it can send perishable delicacies like pastrami and corned beef around the globe.
The plan to offer a taste of authentic, old New York by mail is part of an ongoing effort by Katz's young owner to modernize a business that hasn't changed much since it was founded on Manhattan's Lower East Side in 1888.
"I can't necessarily replicate the entire experience for you, wherever you are at home," says Jake Dell, 29. "But I can give you the food. I can bring it a little bit closer to you."
