    "services_text": "The menu at Katz's is built around the craft of the cured meat counter. Pastrami is the flagship, hand-rubbed, smoked, and steamed in-house, piled high on rye with mustard. Corned beef runs a close second, brisket-tender and deeply seasoned. Both come in sandwiches that require two hands and a commitment. The cutters will offer you a sample before you order. Take it.\n\nBeyond the signature sandwiches, the menu covers every classic deli staple: hot dogs snapped from the grill, matzo ball soup, knishes, latkes, and pickles pulled straight from the barrel. Egg creams and Dr. Brown's sodas round\u2026",

            "question": "How does the ordering system work at Katz's?",
            "answer": "When you enter, you receive a ticket. Hold onto it. You order at the counter from a cutter, who prepares your food in front of you. Your items are marked on the ticket, and you pay when you leave. Losing the ticket results in a fee, so keep it in your hand the whole time."
        },
        {
            "question": "What should I order on my first visit?",
            "answer": "The pastrami sandwich on rye is the essential first order. Corned beef is the close second. Your cutter will offer you a sample slice before you commit. Ask for it fatty for the richest flavor, or lean if you prefer a firmer texture."
        },
        {
            "question": "How long is the wait, and is it worth it?",
            "answer": "Weekend waits outside can run 10 to 20 minutes, but the line inside moves steadily. Weekday visits are noticeably faster. The wait is part of the experience, and the overwhelming consensus from tens of thousands of reviewers is that it is absolutely worth it."
        },
        {
            "question": "Can I order Katz's food if I'm not in New York?",
            "answer": "Yes. Katz's ships nationwide through its website at katzsdelicatessen.com. You can order whole pastrami, corned beef, salami, pickles, and gift packages for delivery anywhere in the United States."

        {
            "question": "Where exactly is Katz's located?",

        {
            "question": "Is Katz's kid-friendly?",
            "answer": "Absolutely. The hot dogs, knishes, and matzo ball soup are crowd-pleasers for younger visitors. The counter system and the energy of the room tend to fascinate kids rather than overwhelm them."
