Comment: On our way out of Laguardia Airport yesterday, I just had to make a stop at Ben's for the Pastrami. Unfortunately, there is not much to review when a sandwich is as fresh and delicious as this. Ben's pastrami is my favorite of all the NYC deli meats. My only regret is that while being consumed with flavor I only got one good photo of the sandwich. Please check the photo, then come back to reading this....  this meat, this exquisitely prepared, seasoned, smoked, steamed, sliced meat is so tender that when you take a bite of the sandwich you realize it's not tender, it's much more, it into the valley of "soft" - yes, if the tenderness of a meat could be described as being soft, this is it. The next thing that hits you is it's moistness, it is incredibly moist - and last but not least, once the preliminary textures have been sensed, the meat and bread finally find their way to your taste buds, and the seasonings along with the flavor of the meat converge for a mind-blowing lunch experience. Ben's pastrami sandwich is without a doubt, a 10/10. You need to try Ben's in Rego Park.... it's simply, the best.
