6. Pastrami Sandwich
New York’s Pastrami sandwiches are served with a tower of hot Pastrami squished between two slices of Rye, accompanied by Russian dressing and a slab of coleslaw. In 1887, this sandwich came to town thanks to a Lithuanian kosher butcher named Sussman Volk. Volk retrieved the recipe for this classic sandwich from a Romanian friend, who traded it to him in exchange for storage space. Soon enough, Volk began selling the sandwiches out of the butcher shop where he worked.
The sandwiches eventually became so popular that the shop was soon revamped into an actual restaurant, serving the Pastrami sandwich as one of its prime meals.
