"As the number of Jewish delis continues to nosedive across the nation, Davis Bakery keeps bucking the trend. This family-owned operation has been a fixture in Cleveland for a staggering 85 years; according to second-generation owner Carl Davis, the business’s longevity is largely due to the bakery’s decision to sidestep the full-service model in favor of more efficient over-the-counter service. Lines queue up to that counter for hearty sandwiches on fresh-baked seeded rye bread, filled with corned beef, pastrami, braised brisket, and tongue. Must-try dish: Save room after your sandwich for some airy coconut bars or flaky Russian tea biscuits." - Douglas Trattner
