In Popular Culture
Katz's was the site of Meg Ryan's and Estelle Reiner's famous "I'll have what she's having" fake orgasm scene in the 1989 romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally...; the table at which she and Billy Crystal sat, is marked with a sign that says "Where Harry met Sally...hope you have what she had!". It was also the site of Johnny Depp's character meeting with an FBI contact in Donnie Brasco. Katz's Deli is also the site for a scene in Across the Universe in which one of the main characters reveals he has been drafted into the Vietnam War. Katz's also appears in the movie Enchanted with Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams, and in We Own the Night. The deli appeared in the background of the Claymation movie Mary and Max, in most of Max's bus stop scenes, and Law & Order has also filmed outside the restaurant. In the 2012 French film Nous York, Manu Payet and Dree Hemingway visit Katz's, where they are greeted at their table by Fred Austin.
