Though I have heard about it a couple of time from friends. I will surely try visiting it once with my family. I have never ever been to Manny’s.

I'm a fan of <a href="http://www.bagelrestaurant.com/" rel="nofollow">The Bagel</a>, though. I have, however, been thinking about deli food a lot, lately. As far as pastrami goes: it should be fatty, but dryness is a sin that can't be forgiven. That's just sad. I've found that many delis have bland matzoh ball soup. I don't understand it. Flavorful chicken broth isn't that hard. Also, I have a strange fondness for Green River. You can get it (as a phosphate no less!) at The Courier. I haven’t really sampled Chicago’s delis.

An unsung but very traditional deli lives in Hyde Park, at the corner of 55th (Garfield) and Cornell. Parking is a pain, but the pastrami on rye was what Martin Luther meant when he talked about "sinning boldly." Sandwiches were not cheap, but were good sized. I'd warn you, the fries are a wee bit greasy and served in a paper bag, but another guilty pleasure. I seem to remember a "Sky High" sandwich that was corned beef AND pastrami. Atmosphere and charm: zero. Authentic Jewish deli flavors: 10 out of 10. Hi, Jason. An unsung but very traditional deli lives in Hyde Park, at the corner of 55th (Garfield) and Cornell.
