Katz’s Deli, the venerable New York City dining institution which turned 125 last year, has been celebrating its big birthday in all sorts of ways. In addition to the usual parties and corned beef bacchanals, they released a $5,000 sneaker—a $5,000 sneaker!—in December, which was up for sale on eBay. For those of you looking to take home a slightly smaller piece of the iconic deli, though, there is hope yet.

The deli is selling a chocolate egg-cream scented candle, which is packaged quite nicely and for only $25 promises to bring a “delicious blast from the past” into your home. Hopefully their next scented endeavor will be pastrami-flavored.
