The Hungry Cabbie has probably already shown up here at some time or other; here's a good interview with him and a link to his five-borough tour trailer [YouTube].
You gotta try one, gaspode. Jonmc's gonna be here in a minute to tell us we must have one at Katz's, and he's probably right. I had one when I was twelve at Carnegie Deli and it was huge; it's a tourist trap, though.
I can't believe you never went to Jack's of Lombard St. or Atmann's for reubens when you were in Baltimore? They're great. Jack's is a childhood delight for me.
When me3dia and I were in New York, we went to Carnegie Deli. He got the Reuben melt, I think, and it was 3 heart attacks on a plate. And everything was good, but the portions were so freakisly large that it was ridiculously wasted on tourists with no mini-fridge. Thankfully we found a homeless guy in New York (imagine that!) to give our leftovers to.
I love that y'all did that. I always give leftovers away when I'm traveling. I also always preface it with "I didn't take a bite out of it, I promise!" But that's probably just white liberal guilt.
