It is for some--well, many/most places in Manhattan are a great location for some given the density--but it's hell and gone from Midtown, UES, etc. As someone who has visited Manhattan semi-regularly over the years (and even lived there for a summer) I think I've been to Katz's once and would never have described it as convenient. ADDED: These days, sure, close to Lower East Side and Orchard Street but that sure wasn't primo real estate a few decades ago (including When Harry Met Sally was filmed).

Katz's is great because it is one of the last "old school Delicatessens". There used to be more convenient deli's all over Manhattan.

A number have gone out of business to be sure. There's still a (couple?) 2nd Ave deli. Not sure what else there is at this point.
