Get the signature corned beef, brisket or pastrami, with a side of crisp potato pancakes, at Manny's Coffee Shop & Deli.
From the restaurant's website:
"So...you think you've eaten a corned beef sandwich before? Try this one for size! Come into Manny's any day and expect to get into a line moving quickly through this cafeteria-style Chicago institution. Monday is the slowest day of the week here, because that's the day people diet, making amends for weekend excuses. At Manny's you don't diet. You don't snack. You don't nosh. You come to this landmark lunchroom to pile your tray high and eat like there's no tomorrow. Hardly changed since it opened in 1942, Manny's colorful history is told in the newspaper and magazine clippings on the wisecracking servers."
Beer and wine available. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner 6 am–8 pm Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
"But before you get in line ... decide what you want. You'll pass by plates of Jell-O and chicken salad, but this line moves too quickly for you to make decisions on the spot. Overwhelmed? We'll make it easy for you: Grab one of the inhumanely oversize corned beef or pastrami sandwiches (there really is bread under all that meat, we promise), a potato pancake on the side and a packet of Tums for dessert."
