Filming When Harry Met Sally...: locations and how to visit

This beloved romantic comedy helped define the genre and, along the way, fell head over heels for New York. Its autumnal parks, bookshops and diners gave the city a warm, witty glow that fans still chase decades later. For set-jetters, its appeal is wonderfully simple, the chance to sit where one of cinema's most quoted scenes was filmed.

The story is rooted in New York City, and its single most famous moment unfolds at a real address. Katz's Delicatessen, the bustling, century-old deli on the Lower East Side, is where the film's most quoted scene plays out over a pastrami sandwich, its long counters, hanging salamis and packed tables exactly the lively spot you see on screen.

Fans can simply turn up, order at the counter and soak in the atmosphere, with the table from the scene usually marked for the curious. Pair the visit with a wander through the Lower East Side and its neighbours, then fold in the city's classic autumn pleasures, and consider linking it with other New York screen locations for a full romantic-comedy tour.
