A wonderful old school deli in the Society Hill area of Philadelphia (south of Old City). Breakfast any time, and sandwiches that come in two sizes: regular and zaftig, with meat piled so high you won't be able to fit it in your mouth. Truly delicious.

A Jewish deli inside Reading Terminal Market, you will involuntarily salivate when you walk by and see the juicy pastrami, corned beef, and brisket being sliced thick and piled high to make amazing sandwiches. Their reuben is legendary.

A true old-fashioned deli:  they smoke their own meat, do their own baking, and make everything on the premises. What's not to love?
