Katz's Delicatessen, also known as Katz's of New York City, is a kosher style (''not'' kosher〔According to Jewish dietary law, or ''kashrut'', milk products and meat may not be eaten together. (''See'' (Kashrut: Jewish Dietary Laws ) on the Judaism 101 website). Katz's menu includes a Reuben sandwich (which includes corned beef and Swiss cheese) and a cheesesteak, both of which violate this proscription. (''See'' (Katz's menu ))〕) delicatessen restaurant located at 205 Houston Street, on the southwest corner of Houston and Ludlow Streets on the Lower East Side in Manhattan, New York City.〔("Katz's Delicatessen" ) on the Zagat website〕 Since its founding in 1888, it has become popular among locals and tourists alike for its pastrami sandwiches and hot dogs, both of which are widely considered among New York's best.〔(New York City Travel Guide: Katz's Deli ), accessed September 24, 2006〕 Each week, Katz's serves of pastrami, of corned beef, of salami and 12,000 hot dogs. In 2013, Zagats gave Katz's a food rating of 25, and ranked it as the number two deli in New York City,〔 after Mile End in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.〔("Mile End" ) on the Zagat website〕 ==History== In 1888, the Iceland brothers established what is now known as Katz’s Delicatessen on Ludlow Street in New York’s Lower East Side. Upon the arrival of Willy Katz in 1903, the establishment's was changed from Iceland Brothers to Iceland & Katz. Willy’s cousin Benny joined him in 1910, buying out the Iceland brothers to officially form Katz’s delicatessen. Their landsman Harry Tarowsky bought into the partnership in April 1917.〔(Katz's official website )〕 The construction of the subway system required the deli to move to the present side of the street, although the entrance remained on Ludlow Street. The vacant lot on Houston Street was home to barrels of meat and pickles until the present storefront facade was added in the period 1946-49.〔 In the early part of the twentieth century, the Lower East Side was home to millions of newly immigrated families. This, along with the lack of public and private transportation, forged a solid community such that Katz’s became a focal point for congregating. On Fridays, the neighborhood turned out for franks and beans, a long time Katz tradition.〔 During the peak of the Yiddish theater, the restaurant was frequently full of actors, singers and comedians from the many theaters on Second Avenue as well as the National Theater on Houston Street. During World War II, the two sons of the owners – Lenny Katz and Izzy Tarowsky – were both serving their country in the armed forces, and the family tradition of sending food to their sons became sealed as the company slogan "Send A Salami To Your Boy In The Army".〔 The slogan itself was coined by Izzy's mother Rose Tarowsky whose son served in the South Pacific as a bomber pilot.〔('Profiles: The Bard in the Delicatessen',''The New Yorker'', March 18, 1944 ); see also (New York Historical Society )〕 The next change in ownership took place with the death of Willy Katz, as his son Lenny took over. In 1980, both Lenny Katz and Harry Tarowsky died, leaving the store to Lenny's son-in-law Artie Maxstein and Harry's son Izzy. In 1988, on the 100th anniversary of its establishment, no offspring of their own to leave the business to, Lenny, Izzy and Arthur sold it to long-time restaurateur Martin Dell, his son Alan – who was a chef and a manager at a neighboring deli – and Martin's son-in-law Fred Austin. Alan’s son Jake officially joined the business in late 2009 and is currently in charge of all major operations.〔 The restaurant celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2013. In connection with that celebration, the restaurant opened a pop-up art gallery next door. The gallery featured original art by New York City artists such as Baron Von Fancy and others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Katz's Delicatessen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
