I have always liked Manny's. The corned beef is the genuine article, and a meat knish with gravy is an artery-clogging good time.
The Bagel in Skokie is OK in my book because you can get a tongue sandwich (my favorite). You aren't a real Jewish deli unless you serve tongue. Half sour pickles on the side, and I'm good to go.

The Grandpas Special, half corned beef, half pastrami with chopped chicken liver served on rye, is a terrific sandwich.

Any thoughts on Perry's on Franklin? I like the cell free zone. He kicks you out if it rings or he sees you talking on it. Kind of like the soup nazi - no sandwich for you! Definitely not a place for Flyertalkers, who find cellphones almost as important as airplanes.

I've been lucky enough to have friends bring me bagels from Montreal twice in the last few months! ^
