I was recently in Manhattan and I was surprised how hard it was to find ANYTHING decent there. My wife and I went for corn beef sandwiches at the Stage Delicatessen and cheese cake at Lindy's. I thought they were both second rate.

They're both tourist traps. But then, much of Manhattan has become one huge tourist trap. To get a good corned beef sandwich, you might have to go all the way to the Lower East Side, to Katz's Deli, which I haven't been to in five or six years -- assuming it's still there. Personally, I prefer pastrami, though I can enjoy a good corned beef, or corned beef/pastrami mix. (I hope the reference to an intermarried sandwich didn't scandalize you.)
