Katz's Deli's world-famous pastrami is coming to Chicago for one day only
You already know that Chicago loves its signature beefy sandwiches, those juicy umami bombs of piquant giardiniera, savory jus, squishy sub and tender ribbons of slow-roasted beef. But next month, you can taste one of the star sandwiches of another great city: the classic pastrami from New York icon Katz's Deli. Yes, the famed Lower East Side restaurant—a meaty NYC mainstay since 1888, which has been immortalized in everything from When Harry Met Sally to Law & Order to Across the Universe —is bringing its primo pastrami to Chicagoland via this year's Windy City Smokeout, the country music and BBQ festival coming to Chicago's United Center from July 10 to 13. As part of the wider festival, a Katz's Deli pop-up will be hosted at Bub City (435 N. Clark Street) in River North on Wednesday, July 9. Tickets start at $45 per person (with tax, though gratuity is not included) and include the one menu item on offer: that iconic Katz's pastrami sandwich ("The brisket sings with horseradish, and the thick-cut pastrami stacked high between slices of rye is the stuff of dreams," says our pals over at Time Out New York) as well as pickles, steak fries and your choice of Dr. Brown's Soda (Root beer, Black Cherry, Cream Soda or Cel Ray Soda). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bub City (@bubcity) You can sink your fangs into that beefy bit of food history all while tapping a toe to live country music. (That should certainly help with the meat sweats.) The ticketed event will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 9, with limited quantities available—guests must select a timeslot when purchasing tickets. One of Chicago's most popular summer events, the Windy City Smokeout brings together some of the most powerhouse pitmasters from all across the country, including homegrown 'cue experts from Chicago itself. This year's festivities will feature more than 20 musical performers, including Baily Zimmerman, Old Dominion, Kane Brown and Megan Moroney.

New York's biggest picnic is coming to Governors Island with iconic Jewish food and unexpected chef collabs
L'chaim! A brand new, massive Jewish food festival is coming to New York City this summer, a one-day-only event huge in scale and flavor. The Great Nosh, dubbed as New York's biggest picnic, will take place on Governors Island on Sunday, June 22, featuring food and beverage from iconic Jewish restaurants across the city, intriguing and unexpected culinary collabs (Thai Diner x Katz's Deli! Gertrude's x Dhamaka!), plus cultural activities like jewelry-making with Lower East Side beading queen Susan Alexandra. Presented by the Jewish Food Society, the nonprofit's founder Naama Shefi was inspired by picnics she grew up enjoying on her kibbutz (a communal village in Israel), and New York's outdoor spaces. 'I love our city's community gardens and parks and wanted to recreate this type of magic on a larger scale,' Shefi says. 'Jewish culture and NYC food are so deeply intertwined. The Great Nosh is a new space that celebrates that history and connection, where we can step out of our daily routine and enjoy good food, wine, music, art and relaxed time with friends.' Running from 11am to 4pm, The Great Nosh will be a five-hour brunch celebration including pop-ups of iconic New York establishments, interactive culinary demos, live music, a Grandmas Tent hosted by Gail Simmons and chef Pati Jinich, a wine bar by The Four Horseman and much more. 'All 12 pop-ups celebrate friendships within the culinary community and many feature unexpected creations drawing on NYC staples that will introduce a completely new take on these dishes,' Shefi says. 'My friend Zoe Kanan of Elbow will partner with her neighbor Sunny Lee of Sunn's on a vegetable-forward banchan bialy with smoky eggplant and zucchini. I love how Sunny and Zoe represent their mutual appreciation of Jewish traditions and are bringing to life Korean and Jewish flavors in the most delicious and thoughtful way.' More highlights include a special 'schnitz & chips' with tahini ketchup and amba by Laser Wolf 's Mike Solomonov and Ed Szymanski from Dame, plus ice cream treats by Russ and Daughters and Morgenstern's. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Great Nosh (@thegreatnoshpicnic) 'I'm proud to live in a city with such rich and vibrant Jewish history and culture that is part of the city's fabric. Now, more than ever, it's important to come together and celebrate Jewish culture in a way that fosters connection, understanding, and joy. The Great Nosh is about pride, resilience, and sharing heritage in an open and welcoming way. It's a chance to reinforce the power of community and to invite all New Yorkers to engage with Jewish food and culture in a dynamic and celebratory setting.' Shefi says. 'I hope that our guests will get inspired by the diversity and the creativity of the many culinary traditions, old and new, showcased at The Great Nosh.' Note: The Great Nosh does not take a political stance on Israel, though it's co-sponsored by several pro-Israel organizations, including UJA Federation New York, Schusterman Family Philanthropies and Pershing Square Philanthropies.

Restaurant branded 'tourist trap' for serving $29 sandwich which would feed 'family of four in Europe'
'I'll have what she's having,' is the infamous line uttered by a woman who witnesses Meg Ryan fake an orgasm while eating a sandwich in When Harry Met Sally. But you'll have to cough up a whopping $28.95 (£21.63) if you actually want to eat the same meal as her. Katz's Deli, in New York, has become just as famous for being the filming location for the 1989 film as it has for its delicious pastrami sandwiches. But, on finding out the price in a recent viral tweet about the mouthwatering Reubens, many have accused the restaurant of being a 'tourist trap'. Taking to X, Tansu Yegen shared a video of Katz's iconic sandwich being prepped, with the meat being cut up, before put on to a slice of rye bread and topped with melted cheese. Tansu added: 'The sandwich, sold for $27 (£20.17) in New York, is famous for its generous amount of ingredients…' Many weren't convinced by the steep price tag, with one person commenting: 'In Europe, that'd be a meal for family of four.' Another added: 'Generous? It's well paid for.' And a third joked: 'All respect to Katz, but to pay $27 I'd need to be in a movie theatre located at a baseball game being played in Las Vegas.' Another hit out: 'Katz deli, really overrated & a total tourist trap. Go to a neighbourhood bodega, a third of the price & twice the quality imo.' The famous sandwich actually now costs $28.95, with optional extras, according to the Katz's Deli website. But others think it's worth the money. MailOnline's deputy travel editor Hayley Minn has patiently stood in the long queue at Katz's waiting to try the sandwich before forking out the money – and thought it was so delicious she went back the second time she was in New York to have it again. And others on X agree, with one saying: 'Had it a week ago. Worth its weight in gold.' Another added: 'It's so good and worth it.'

Jack Quaid Is Proud of Mom Meg Ryan's Hollywood Comeback: 'No One Deserves It More Than Her'
Jack Quaid is mom Meg Ryan's biggest cheerleader. The actor, 32, said watching his famous mother's return to the Hollywood spotlight — from her recent Super Bowl commercial to her presenting at the 2025 Academy Awards — has been "unbelievable," during an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of his movie Novocaine on Tuesday, March 11. "Obviously, I am very biased, but no one deserves it more than her," Quaid said. Ryan, 63, and Billy Crystal, 76, reunited for a Super Bowl commercial that revived the titular characters from their 1989 rom-com When Harry Met Sally and celebrated the 35th anniversary of the movie. The two are seen at New York's famous Katz's Deli, with Crystal's Harry telling Ryan's Sally, 'I can't believe they let us back in this place.' The commercial, which promoted Hellmann's products, paid tribute to a memorable moment where Harry says he doesn't believe any of the women he's slept with have ever faked an orgasm. Sally proceeds to offer a convincing demonstration right in the middle of the restaurant. "I'll have what she's having," a fellow diner says after Sally's performance.

Ryan, who has headlined several iconic rom-coms like When Harry Met Sally as well as Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail, jumped back into the genre with 2023's What Happens Later, which she co-wrote, directed and starred in. In her first role since her 2015 directorial debut Ithaca, which her son Jack co-starred in, Ryan costarred along with David Duchovny. Quaid recently shared how his famous parents Ryan and Dennis Quaid weren't always on board with him following in their Hollywood footsteps. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Dec. 27, Quaid — who has had two movies releases already in 2025, Companion and Novocaine — said, "With my parents, I told them I wanted to be an actor and they understood what that meant."
