Katz's Deli Will Start International Deliveries

LOWER EAST SIDE, NY — The famous Katz's Delicatessen will soon be available to New Yorkers around the world in desperate need of pastrami.

The famous Lower East Side deli will start offering international deliveries this summer, the Wall Street Journal first reported. The deli has been shipping its iconic deli meats throughout the U.S. for a while now, but this summer's expansion will be its first time testing the global demand of pastrami-eaters. The exact list of countries that the deli will ship to is still being determined, a company spokeswoman told Patch, but deliveries will start later this year.

"There’s a limit to the number of people you can fit under one roof, but there’s no limit to the number of pastramis that you can ship," owner Jake Dell told the Journal.

The 129-year-old deli is also planning on opening an outpost in Brooklyn at the DeKalb Market Hall and a packaging and shipping facility in New Jersey.
