My view is that good things in big cities will inevitably draw tourists. Sometimes the product or service suffers, sometimes it doesn't. Thus, I don't discriminate based on whether a place is 'touristy'.
I rarely go through Murray Hill, but I'll keep Sarge's in mind.

I've never been, but that pastrami looks lifeless compared to what we had at Katz's, where it was very generously marbled (fat, fat, fat!) and sliced much thicker.

Will do. I didn't know the soda was part of the ritual, but we should have known to get the knishes.

Does this apply to the Katz's sandwhich I posted? I think the Carnegie sandwhich looks soul-less.
