Okay, I get to NYC about once every 2 or 3 years, but it's always by plane or bus so I don't have to worry about parking a car. Anyway, my grandson has to go to Harlem tomorrow to drop something off and wants me to ride along. I've promised him for years that I'd get him a NYC hot pastrami on rye the way the sandwich is supposed to be made. So here's my problem. We would have a vehicle ~X(
My goal - should I go with him - is to take him to Ben's Deli in Manhattan on 209 W. 38th Street. How can I go there and park my grandson's pickup truck somewhere??
I would first Google an outdoor parking lot if none then an indoor lot but they will charge a premium for the size. You should be able to get a coupon.

Thanks Ed - looks ideal for where we are headed. Only about a 7 block walk

Gosh, I wish I could meet you there. Ben's is our favorite Deli, only we go to the one on Long Island, (Carle Place). We are there at least once a month. I can't say they have the best pastrami in NY as I haven't gotten the chance to taste all the others, but, if not some of the best, they sure come close.
Seriously, next time you are entering our boundaries, please, give us a heads up and I know several of us would love to enjoy sharing a meal with you.

That would be great. However, this is a get in and get out trip. We'll get in around 10 AM (knock on wood) and we want to leave the city before 2:30, 3:00 so we don't get stuck in traffic on the way out, especially on the GW Bridge.
Ben's deli downtown has been my favorite, although I haven't tried them all of course. I've heard that Katz is really good, but I don't want to go to Brooklyn on this quick trip. Also, ror an extra buck at Ben's you can get the pastrami "lean" which I prefer and since my grandson has never tried a real NYC pastrami sandwich, I want to make sure he gets a good one that's lean. I've had a few that were fatty and not my preference. The closest thing my grandson has had to a pastrami sandwich is a Reuben at Arby's... =)) and he loves them! The only thing about Ben's that I wish they had, is they don't have Russian dressing although they've got some good dressings. I just love Russian dressing on mine.
Thanks for the tips guys. My grandson called it off so I'm not going anyway :(
