Since 1888
Katz’s Deli made its iconic mark on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1888 when the Iceland brothers opened up a small deli. Enter Willy Katz in 1903, and the name of the store was officially changed to “Iceland & Katz”. Willy’s cousin Benny joined him in 1910, buying out the Iceland brothers, officially forming Katz’s Delicatessen. Katz’s Deli then moved across the street, where it resides today, during the construction of the subway system.
