Kevin Falcone: Great corned beef and pastrami.
Meg Berman: This deli provides authentic Jewish comfort food. The deli pickles and corned beef brisket sandwiches will leave you full and happy!
Dan Roberts: Located in what was formerly West Bridge. Excellent lox, excellent pastrami (and get the pastrami knish), and incredible boozy milkshakes ...

New American Restaurant · Inman Square · 63 tips and reviews
Noah Weiss: Come for the pastry basket, $10 for 4 delicious items like a chocolate pretzel croissant, stay for the brunch like the corned beef hash. Great, airy vibe with reservations too.
Dan Roberts: My favorite restaurant in Cambridge. The small plates are the best. Get the swordfish pastrami with mustard ice cream. The potato bread is addicting, we usually get upwards of three rounds ...
Eater: The single most essential Boston restaurant of the moment, in that here chef-owner Will Gilson is more thoroughly tackling a fresh perspective on New England cuisine than anywhere else in the world.

Mìchæl ßowen: Excellent food, excellent prices, excellent service. 10/10! Try the BBQ steak and steak and cheese.
Nick Mudry: Great spot for just about anything. Burgers, grinders, whatever! Also super friendly staff!
Robyn Bahr: Best cajun fries in the city. The man behind the counter gave me a free sample of the cheese fries when I said how good they smelled! Great service - just won my life long loyalty.
