What is that famous diner from When Harry Met Sally?
I've seen movies that take it to another level by doing scenes in real restaurants.
But I was wondering where this scene took place in. It doesn't look like a movie set. So I'm assuming it happened in a real diner. What is the name of this place. And where is it located?
Best Answer
Katz's Delicatessen in New York's Lower East Side!
People Magazine did an article on it, as well as the NY Times.
It's curious how the single best line in Nora Ephron's script for When Harry Met Sally..., released July 14, 1989, is spoken by neither Harry nor Sally. Instead, it's an unnamed character who reacts to Sally's fake orgasm in Katz's Deli with, "I'll have what she's having."
I've also eaten there numerous times, so I speak from personal knowledge. (Just about any New Yorker can validate this.)

Where is the deli from When Harry Met Sally?
Where is Katz's Deli Located? Katz's is located at 205 East Houston Street (corner of Ludlow Street) which is in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.What did Sally have at Katz Deli?
In great contrast with her over-the-top orgasmic theatrics that follow, Sally ordered a simple turkey sandwich on white bread. The ordering itself is never shown in the movie, however, so how did she dress it?Why is Katz Deli so popular?
Unlike almost all other delis, Katz's cures their own, made from the more marbled belly cut, and it is consistently rated the best in a city that loves its pastrami (New York Magazine recently rated Katz's the city's Absolute Best Deli, Absolute Best Pastrami and Absolute Best Hot Dog).When did Cafe Luxembourg Open?
Lynn Wagenknecht and her then husband, Keath McNally, opened the place in 1983 as a French neighborhood bistro. Now the sole proprietor, Lynn has maintained a rare level of comfort within the realm of fine dining, fully investing herself in Cafe Luxembourg as well as its sister restaurants, Cafe Cluny and The Odeon.When Harry Met Sally
