Hey Yankees fans: Eat this!!

I'm sure you New York and Jersey people -- you Yankees fans in town for the stand with the Orioles -- are hankering for New York-style deli. (Assuming you've already had a Baltimore-style crab cake.) Then you should stop by Baltimore's Corned Beef Row and check out Weiss, Jack's and Attman's. (Do I dare name a fave?)

I was at Attman's yesterday (again) and, of course, there's ample parking now. And have you heard about what they're getting ready to do over there? They're intending to triple the size of the deli, expanding along East Lombard Street in a way that the Attman family had wanted for years. They are even going to have table service!

Anyway, Yankee fans, if you get cravings for good deli, that's where you want to be. You can get an Attman's Corned Beef sandwich at Oriole Park, but I prefer the Kibbitz Room on Lombard Street.

With the way things have improved along Corned Beef Row, it would be nice to see a couple more restaurants there -- maybe an Italian pizza/sub shop, or another good Jewish deli. I can't imagine that another good deli would hurt business at Attman's, Weiss, or Jack's, all of which have loyal customers who come from miles and miles away.

Just remember people: Corned beef, rye, mustard. No mayo!

Advising against mayo on a corned beef sandwich is like advising against taking a dump in the Trevi Fountain. Some obscenities just shouldn't be uttered lest you promote bad ideas among barbarians.
