Katz’s Delicatessen was already 100 years old in 1989 when the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally came out. The landmark New York deli on Houston Street, with its overstuffed pastrami-on-rye sandwiches, was the ideal setting for Meg Ryan’s fake orgasm. The classic scene was made that much more classic by the line uttered by a nearby customer (played by director Rob Reiner’s mother):”I’ll have what she’s having.”
