Directions from passers-by as to the whereabouts of the famous Hebrew Delicatessen pointed out that there would be a line outside. Sure enough the queue stretched along the pavement in front of apparently less popular restaurants. Curiousity grew as to what exactly the attraction could be once one was admitted into the fairly run down shop, established 1928. The only clue was the various pieces of meat and sausages hanging up in the front window. Eventually entry was gained into the packed shop which seemed little changed from the 1940's probably due to the constant demand and late opening hours.
We just had what everyone else was having ie "Smoked Meat" fries and Cherry Coke. The "meat" in question is actually beef but looks like ham. Calorific value is high and not recommended as any part of a weight loss programme, also vegetarian options are limited. The Place mats detail a list of famous people who have visited the shop, Burt Lancaster among them but not Madonna. I couldn't see Madonna and Smoked Meat going together...
