    • Description:

    • This Famous 4th Street Delicatessen has lived up to its moniker by remaining a staple of Philadelphia local cuisine since 1923. This deli is primarily known for traditional Jewish cold cuts and sandwiches like corned beef, roast beef, roasted turkey and brisket. Fish is also available, from lox to gefilte to whitefish. Finish your meal off with an award-winning chocolate chip cookie. Sometimes they give you a cookie as a treat when you're paying your bill. Delivery available. The cookies are also available in the Reading Terminal Market, 13th and Arch streets.
