This might be the best deli in Boston or perhaps the whole US. Their pastrami is worlds ahead of Zaftigs and such nice people working here too.

The sloopy! and one of the 6 choices of pickles. Great sandwich.

Their sandwiches are amazing but their knishes shouldn't be overlooked either. Great food all around

Massive Pastrami Sandwiches! Very friendly owners. If you order the corned beef, have it on Rye with mustard. If you ask for different you will get a weird look

This New York style deli has awards from Phantom Gourmet and Best of Boston. The Corned Beef Rachel is a favorite of ours. Read more

What's not to love? Reubens (on pumpernickel) are HUGE, bagels are awesome, cream soda in a bottle & a can.. & what's that? Moxie! PS-They also carry Pearl hot dogs in the freezer.

Mango chicken salad is delightful. Especially "dirty" with sweet potato chips!

You can have a Half Rachel but its not half a sandwich, rather half the meat.

The best Deli in Boston bar none. Puts Zaftigs to shame for half the price. although still not cheap.
