It’s the bread but it is also unbalanced overall - just putting large amounts of pastrami (or anything) on a sandwich doesn’t make it good - any good sandwich has a well thought out balance of the different ingredients
This is turning into a Katz’s review but what the hell. Yes, as someone asked above, the hot dogs are good. And the corned beef is too.
When I was in Montreal several months ago, I had a beef sandwich at Schwartz’s. I liked it as much as Katz’s.

Sure, I agree. Does anyone actually eat this one like a sandwich?
What are your opinions of Harold’s, if you all are against giant sandwiches?
It seems to be a favorite of my east coast friends, at least as far as value vs. quality and quantity.

When I was sitting at Katz a lot of people at it there as a sandwich

I usually try to go off the beaten path if for no other reason that it’s a great excuse to get to know a city better. This has rewarded me in so many ways I can’t even begin to count.

As a child, I used to bristle when, in visiting new cities, my mother insisted on taking public transit from city center to the burbs and back, while I wanted to go see the bright lights. I have come to realize that she was right. We learn.

Eater has this kind of list for a lot of cities - mixed feelings on what’s on the list here, but interesting nonetheless:

I don’t use public transportation such as buses and rail in the US. They’re merely tools to efficiently distribute crime throughout a metropolitan area.

That may just be the funniest thing I’ve read this week.

Interesting! Never thought of them that way. Before Covid, I used SF’s convenient buses to whisk me all over town in minutes. Like a mosquito. We haven’t used transit again yet and I miss it terribly.
I have never been uncomfortable on transit here. Heads up and aware of surroundings like everywhere.

Berlin, like many other German (and European) cities has a fantastic public transport system that will pretty much get you anywhere at all times - subway, elevated train, buses, regional trains.
The US just missed the bus on that one. Pun intended.

Another reason I disliked GG Transit was that I was often stuck in stop/go traffic immediately behind one s/b 101 trying to cross the GGB. When riding a scoot I’d split lanes.
GGT and BART are perfectly safe outside of commute hours.

Same with us. We can use bus, tram or train round the metro area. And, as we’re seniors, it’s free (apart from an annual £10 charge for the card). We just don’t want to be in that proximity to folk if we can avoid it (by driving).

I used to use the Metro (subway) in DC but never used the buses. Now that I live in the sticks it is my own car, Uber or shanks mare.
The funny thing is that I like to get a feel for foreign cities by using the buses there, but dislike using the buses in my own area.
As to RD’s comment about mass transit facilitating crime, I don’t think that happened at all in the DC area. Section 8 rental assistance in the suburbs was the thing that had a positive correlation to increased crime rates, not mass transit.
