Yes, the \"smoked meat\" is good here, and a huge portion, but maybe not the \"best\" pastrami I've ever had. \n\nWhat I don't get is the hype though... I suppose if you're just dying to eat in a tiny, cramped, historic, but grimy diner, elbow to elbow with people you don't know, this is your place.\n\nOur not-so-friendly server looked and acted like a heroin addict, complete with unbuttoned shirt, greasy unwashed hair, and sweat pouring off him. A couple of the other servers looked similar, so I have to question if some of that lack of hygiene is getting into the food. One server told me the owners had paid $10 million for the place when they bought it from Celine Dion's husband... Guess they didn't have any money left over for cleaning or renovations\n\nFor me, it's really not worth waiting in line for this. Take-out is the way to go here... 2 star place + 1 extra star for the meat
