It’s a lot, but the sandwiches are huge. NYC is the only place I’ve been where the sandwiches are usually big enough for 2-3 people.
It’s also one of the cheaper cities to eat as a tourist. No need for restaurants, just grab a sandwich that lasts all day. Or cheap street food, or something from a hole in the wall. I love it there.
Russ and daughters is like stepping in a time machine and going back to the 30s/40s. Great place ! I just love the lower Eastside. Clinton st bakery, the imho even better Pause cafe. I really miss NYC
would you like anything else with that?
Yes, a loaf of bread and some friends.
Once you’ve had their pastrami you wouldn’t be sharing.
I could never eat all that. I tend to eat until I’m full then I stop. No need to stuff yourself so much you need a nap.
Edit: Not that it matters but who downvoted this. I want to know the why?
This place is known for both their price and portion size. I generally get two meals out of a single $30 sandwich.
Regardless of how popular the place is with tourists, it is still a classic.
And, bonus: if the line is too long you can just go to Russ and Daughters a block away and grab a pastrami lox bagel (see attached).
A sandwich for £22 is crazy. No matter how big it is. I could eat Monday to Friday for that.
To each their own and they do look lovely, I’m just not a food guy. I eat else I die is my relationship with food.
It’s NYC. The most expensive place in the USA (besides San Francisco)
That’s true. I do wonder what the average price for a sandwich is in NYC. I’m also curious if London has sandwich’s priced like this.
I’m not sure. Major cities are absurdly expensive though. $30 for a sandwich is insane I agree. I’m just not surprised because it’s NYC ha.
Check out what’s required to smoke and make brisket for pastrami.

Russ & daughters is so good. I wish I had that bagel right now!
WTF are you insane?!?!
A large steak sandwich that takes a full day to prepare. Yes.
If it took a full day to prepare it would cost $300, not $30
It’s NYC.
I didn’t downvote you but man: when you’re full, that’s a snack for later or tomorrow’s lunch.
It’s like a cow with a cracker on either side.
You got banana bread?
GET THE FUCK OUT!!!
I’m not makin’ a banana bread, pastrami, cottage cheese sandwich!
