477169 Mon Jan 07 21:27:54 -0800 2008 21 14 Washington DC & Baltimore Area 0 3272336 I am staying in Baltimore for a couple days and I remember being told that there was a good deli with Pastrami, Rye bread, Lox, Bagels.... all the good stuff. Where should I go? Mon Jan 07 21:27:54 -0800 2008 15383 tstrum 1 3272374 attman's on east baltimore is the real one plus a few suburban ones. Mon Jan 07 21:45:53 -0800 2008 3272336 72002 chowsearch 2 3272469 I'm pretty sure that Attman's is the one people talk about when they mention Baltimore delis. Yummy corned beef and pastrami. It's on Lombard Street, not Baltimore though. Mon Jan 07 22:28:38 -0800 2008 3272374 11273 JonParker 1 3272765 Attman's is the "classic" standard (family-owned since 1915) by which all others are judged. If you're not in town or unwilling to make the trek, the close-in suburb of Pikesville is the next best thing. Try Edmart for carryout and Suburban House or Miller's for eating in. Tue Jan 08 05:27:05 -0800 2008 3272336 12051 tubman 2 3273227 Actually, the Edmart has a handful of tiny tables in the back if you want to eat there. Much nicer than the Kibbitz Room at Attman's; Attman's is much better to go. The Suburban House's corned beef and pastrami are nothing special, in my opinion. Tue Jan 08 08:31:15 -0800 2008 3272765 74444 lawhound 1 3273246 I adore Attman's but there is also The Knish Shop on Reisterstown Road in Pikesville: http://www.theknishshop.com/ Tue Jan 08 08:35:22 -0800 2008 3272336 12234 hon 1 3280060 Pikesville has the highest concentration of Jewish delis. Attman's is downtown in what was once the Jewish neighborhood. Attman's is very good it really is. BUT!...the BEST corned beef in Baltimore, without question is at Edmart. And yes, there are some tables in the back to sit down and eat at. One note, if you want your sandwich warm you must request it. The default is the serve it cold. If you want a more atmospheric place, Suburban House [or S&H as we call it here in Pikesville] is a pretty good place. The food is nothing that special there though. Good enough, but not great. Thu Jan 10 02:00:35 -0800 2008 3272336 68354 thedanny 2 3280198 So little delis, so much time. If you're in the NW 'burbs and want carry-out go to Knish Shoppe. You wanna sit down, go to Suburban House (it helps if you're 80 or older). BUT...schlepp over to Attman's on E. Lombard St. There's a reason this place has been here for over 100 years.Ess gezundteh heit! Thu Jan 10 05:13:07 -0800 2008 3280060 152711 RichardCrystal 3 3280456 All of this talk is making me hungry! Thu Jan 10 06:55:45 -0800 2008 3280198 12234 hon 1 3281193 Attman's on Lombard St. and a block away is Lenny's. Both are all that is left of Baltimore's once famed "Corned Beef Row". It's within walking distance of the Inner Harbor. If you go to Lenny's, get the Kosher dog wrapped in fried bolony....if you think your stomach can handle it. Thu Jan 10 09:53:17 -0800 2008 3272336 156283 jimmitch923 2 3282354 Been to Attman's many times & love it (and, FWIW, I'm from NYC originally). I've always been curious about Lenny's, however. Is it worth a trip? Or is it a matter of `if you love Attman's, why stray?' Anything else at Lenny's worthwhile besides dog+baloney? Thu Jan 10 13:57:22 -0800 2008 3281193 64430 dan f. 3 3282689 You know, I'll eat just about anything once, but I gotta say that bologna wrapped hot dog may be over my limit. But I did go to Lenny's once when a friend and I were unwilling to stand in line at Attman's. It was ok, but not even close to Attman's quality. Thu Jan 10 15:07:51 -0800 2008 3282354 11273 JonParker 3 3284081 If you're making the effort to go to Lombard Street, I don't know why you'd go anywhere other than Attman's (in business there for 93 years). Weiss' has turned into more of a standard sandwich shop. Lenny's is not bad, but it's not an "original" Corned Beef Row resident, it took the place of another (Jack's) about 15 years ago. Fri Jan 11 03:18:00 -0800 2008 3282354 12051 tubman 4 3284174 Is that the same Lenny's as Valley Village out in Pikesville/Owings Mills? Fri Jan 11 05:25:18 -0800 2008 3284081 152711 RichardCrystal 5 3284176 Yes--if you're a fan, you can save yourself the trouble of schlepping down to Lombard. http://www.lennysdeli.com Fri Jan 11 05:27:43 -0800 2008 3284174 12051 tubman 6 3285083 Is Lenny's in the strip where Egyptian Pizza is? And wasn't there a deli in the shopping center where Weis market and Amazing Savings used t be? Fri Jan 11 09:42:53 -0800 2008 3284176 14330 nickdanger 7 3285203 Nick, Youre thinking of Snyder's. It's still there. The best thing there is the fried chicken which is an old recipe from decades ago. Service is dicey. The average server is about 15 years old. Lenny's is where that new place Cosi's is located at McDonogh Rd.The deli there is good but the best thing is Lenny's is there tuna fish salad!! Fri Jan 11 10:09:11 -0800 2008 3285083 152711 RichardCrystal 8 3286254 Yes the tuna salad IS great! I've been eating that there since I was a kid. I think they must put sugar in it. Does that sound right? Fri Jan 11 14:11:09 -0800 2008 3285203 68354 thedanny 9 3286907 Here's the tuna trick......after you chop your celery ( very finely diced) sprinkle sugar on the celery....let it marinate overnight. The next day drain the water...add the sweet celery to your tuna....its fantastic! Fri Jan 11 17:28:10 -0800 2008 3286254 74388 MDicecreamguy 2 3282648 -There is Weis's deli between Attman's and Lenny's...great corned beef and great pickles...but stick with the corned beef Thu Jan 10 15:00:56 -0800 2008 3281193 11562 Hue 1 3285592 I love the greasy meat knishes at Attman's. They were the first thing we could get my son to eat after his appendectomy. Fri Jan 11 11:41:31 -0800 2008 3272336 12059 ko1 2 3286342 Yes, Attman's is relatively close to Hopkins. I went there on my way home from major surgery. Could barely walk, but the hot corned beef definitely was a soul soother. Now I'm totally cured, in good shape . . . I give Attman's as much credit as the great docs at Hopkins! Fri Jan 11 14:30:47 -0800 2008 3285592 64430 dan f.
