New York : Top 10 locations for When Harry met Sally
When Harry met Sally in New York
When Harry Met Sally is a movie that personifies New York… Funny, romantic and impertinent. A bit like our New York guide of 1000 cult places from movies, series, music, comics and novels.
1. Katz’s Delicatessen
Opened since 1888, this historic deli is the scene of the mythical scene where Sally Allbright (Meg Ryan) simulates an orgasm in the middle of a restaurant in front of Harry Burns (Billy Crystal). A sign always overlooks the table visible in the film. It is accompanied by a little humor: “Hope you have what she had”. The woman asking the waiter “Give me the same thing” right after that memorable moment is Estelle Reiner, the director’s mother. He explained that this passage had been added so as not to focus too much on Harry’s character and thus put Sally forward. Try pastrami sandwiches, they’re legendary.
