When I wanted *ambiance*, I went to Quiet Little Table in the Corner. (many moons ago)
Where I am from, lunch IS dinner. Then there’s supper...

That’s closer than I’d thought you’d be.
Supposedly the pastrami is really good.
I’ve been there many times but don’t get pastrami.
I don’t know whether to golf clap or groan at that one... 😅
...you can smoke it

a recipe using commercial corned beef. The soaking process is the key.
I have done this twice. Points are fattier and the result was better. If you can find a fatty flat, you get slice-ability and size along with the increased moisture from the fat, which was preferable.
The corned beef is tenderized and this was quicker.
I used yellow mustard on one, Dijon on the other. Both were good and provide *glue* for the cracked pepper and coriander. LOTS of both are best.
Bonus, the smoked *jus* that accumulates in the steaming phase was frozen, de-fatted (fat was used separately in a roux for beef gravy and was fine) and added to a beef barley soup (I got about 3 cups *jus*). It was wonderful in the soup, just do not use any other seasoning until the soup is done and adjust to taste. I made about a gallon & 1/2 or more of soup, total. The base for this soup was the saved broth from a sirloin tip slow-cooked according to *3 packet* or *Mississippi pot roast* recipe found all over the internet. The recipe provides 3-4 cups of soup base. The rest of the soup liquid is 1/2 gallon of packaged beef stock (Swanson or store brand, I found no difference). If the flavor is too intense, add some additional water.
Rest of the soup is leftover beef from the sirloin tip roast, canned tomatoes with juice, 1 cup dehydrated home-grown tomatoes, 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (corn/peas/carrots/green beans) and 1/2 cup barley (or more, if desired). Takes 2 hours and then let stand 2-3 hours. Season to taste (may need very little additional seasoning) then reheat to serve w/biscuits and a green salad.
...a fatty meat works best, but I don’t know if that’s a hard and fast rule.

It is. Navel, the original meat for pastrami, is fattier than the brisket.
I have used points and flats and points, which are fattier, were better. Flavor is in the fat.
Brisket isn't fit for anything but grinding into hamburger meat.
I make pastrami from venison loin. That stuff is slap yer momma good.
I don’t believe so.
The Irish eat bacon, not corned beef.
In NYC, the Irish population learned of corned beef from the adjacent Jewish population.
It is a phenomenon of Irish immigrants to the US.
