"Open since 1942, this South Loop Jewish deli has been the lunchtime stomping ground for generations of office workers and local politicians. But even if you want nothing to do with downtown traffic, politics, or both, you'll want everything to do with Manny’s. It has a ridiculous variety of comforting food like sandwiches, knishes, and matzah ball soup, and you order cafeteria-style from someone whose only job is to make sure you’re getting enough pastrami in your life." - nick allen, john ringor, adrian kane
