Walk out of the subway into the fluorescent pulse of Times Square and the deli’s doorway offers a different kind of theater: steam from grills, the tang of pickles and mustard, and a counter where orders are called like cues. For 60 minutes you trade Broadway bustle for a compact, unapologetic New York lunch—pastrami piled high, a sauced chicken parm, or a margherita you can eat standing if you need to.
