Famous 4th Street Delicatessen

It gives me significant comfort to know that a deli of this quality is mere blocks from my house. I would contend that the pastrami sold here is as good as any you will get at one of those famous New York joints. I don't think there's any point in ordering anything other than a pastrami sandwich when you go to to Famous Fourth Street. Except, of course, for the cookies. Oh my goodness those cookies are good.

This place has been here for years. As soon as I walked in I found myself salivating over all of the delicious meats and baked goods. My family and I order a bagel and lox, signature pastrami sandwich with a side coleslaw salad and fried potato cake. Wow these sandwiches are huge. Expect to eat it with 2 hands or a fork and knife. The meat is tender and seasoned so well. Very thin cuts all stacked together. The hot pastrami with their signature sauce is heaven! No wonder everyone gets this darn thing its so freakin good. The bagel itself was no joke either. I counted 4 layers of lox in the bagel. This place can be pricey, but if you consider what you pay for its well worth the price for its value. For what we ordered it was perfect for 4. Expect everything you order to be shared. We all really loved this spot and will definitely be coming back

Clean and friendly. The food here comes in massive quantities, so for the price it's well worth it. You can order one meal and the leftovers could feed you for two more meals or more.

The establishment is historic and family run. Nice area near South Street close enough to walk to Front Street and see the piers and river.

Food is delicious and well made. I highly recommend it.

The food here is not only massively portioned, but tasty. The sandwiches are some of the best around, especially the sandwiches named for locations in New York. Keep in mind that if you want dessert be prepared to share! On top of that the deli area at checkout is great to grab something on the way out and it makes it easy to pop in to grab something without having to enjoy an entire meal.

It was great. High priced but the portion sizes match the price. Come with a great appetite. You'll have a great time. It's like an old-fashioned New York deli. Enjoy.
