Katzs

Katzs is most commonly associated with Katz's Delicatessen, a historic Jewish deli in New York City, though the spelling may also appear as a possessive or plural form of the surname Katz in branding and branding-related contexts. The term thus has both a referential and a genealogical resonance.

Katz's Delicatessen is located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and was established in the late 19th century (traditionally cited as 1888). It has long been linked to immigrant Jewish cuisine and the development of the American deli. The shop is renowned for hand-sliced pastrami and corned beef sandwiches on rye, along with other classic deli staples such as matzo ball soup and pickles. For much of its history it has been operated by members of the Katz family, contributing to its reputation as a storied family business and cultural landmark. The deli has also become a notable tourist destination and a symbol of New York’s culinary diversity.

In popular culture, Katz's Delicatessen has appeared in films and media, most famously in the comedy When Harry Met Sally, where a memorable dining scene takes place at the establishment. The deli has also been associated with a World War II-era campaign encouraging patrons to “send a salami to your boy in the Army,” underscoring its long-standing ties to American social history.

Katzs, when not referring to the deli, is typically understood as the possessive form of the surname Katz, a common Jewish surname of Ashkenazi origin.
