That is my favorite movie too!! Thanks for this great picture. Hopefully I’ll be able to check it out in real life some day!
Photo of the Week: Where Harry (sort of) Met Sally
Remember that scene in the movie When Harry Met Sally, when Sally, er, rather vocally shows Harry how to fake the “throes of passion,” and a guy a woman sitting near them (director Rob Reiner’s mother in real life - and thanks to my commenter Susan for correcting me) sitting near them sees her display and says to the waiter, “I’ll have what she’s having?”
That scene was filmed at the venerable Katz’s Delicatessen, on the Lower East Side in New York City.
Since my husband and I consider that “our movie” (we were married the year it was released) I made a beeline to Katz’s when I was in New York for Condé Nast Traveler, and I took a picture of the famous table where the characters were sitting.
Yep, that’s a sign they’ve hung above it, so you can’t miss it. 
I didn’t eat anything there, but did take a look at the menu and was pretty tempted.
The guidebook I was reviewing, Pauline Frommer’s New York City (Pauline Frommer Guides)
That day, though, a sentimental journey was filling enough for me.

The quote “I’ll have what she is having” was not made by a guy, rather a woman character who in real life is Rob Reiner’s (the director) mother.

@Elizabeth - It’s a neat deli; you should go see it.
@Susan - Wow, you are absolutely right, my brain was not functioning properly. I’ll fix it now….thanks!

Funny to see the sign they put over the table!
Thanks for sharing.

This is one of my favorite places in New York, and we have a tradition of stopping on the way to the airport to pick up sandwiches for the road. Not only does the pastrami literally glisten as when the carvers slice it right in front of you, but they also have fantastic egg creams!
Thanks so much for sharing this as part of Photo Friday.

@Dominique - yeah, I wonder how many really look up to see it, or realize that their table has any significance.
@Debbie - the portions were gigantic. Not cheap, but could feed three from one serving in some cases.
