Carnegie Deli on 7th Avenue has been a longtime favorite for New York deli sandwiches. The walls are covered with celebrity signed headshots and some of the sandwiches are named after celebrity patrons (i.e. "The Woody Allen" is a pastrami on rye). This New York institution has an ambiance one won't forget; the trademark "rude" waitresses deliver heaping plates that can satiate even the heartiest appetites. Be sure to save room for their world famous cheesecake.

Tiffany & Co. was established in 1837 and become a cultural icon with the 1961 film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" starring Audrey Hepburn. New York Times journalist Cintra Wilson once wrote that "Tiffany is as American as guns." Among Tiffany & Co.'s other notable attributes are its trademark sterling silver products, the "E Pluribus Unum" insignia on one dollar bills, and the production of the Nascar and Super Bowl trophies. Despite dangerous episodes of economic failure, Tiffany & Co. is considered one of the ultimate representations of style and class when it comes to jewelry.
