Must-Try in Philadelphia! The Soulful Pastrami at a Retro Jewish Deli

✨ Hershel's East Side Deli 📍 Address: Inside Reading Terminal Market, 51 N 12th St ⏰ Tip: Arrive before 10 a.m.! The sandwiches sell out quickly during lunch rush! 🔥 Signature Smoked Pastrami Sandwich: The marbled brisket is hand-sliced against the grain into thin pieces, dripping with so much juice it can get your hands messy! Paired with tangy Russian dressing and crisp sauerkraut, all tucked into Kaplan's rye bread, it’s an explosion of fatty aroma in every bite. It has the same flavor as Katz's in New York, but without the subway vibrations and with more of Philly’s local charm! 💡 Fun Fact: The owner, Steven, was originally an engineer. He switched careers to honor his uncle and opened this deli. All the staff are like family, having worked together for over 10 years. Chat with Uncle Justin when you order, and you’ll feel like you’re on the set of Friends! 📸 Must-Photograph for Retro Lovers: Red brick walls, vintage menu boards, and hanging smoked meats in the open kitchen—perfect for an American nostalgic vibe! 💬 Netizen Review: "After trying this, other sandwiches just feel like a compromise!" Tips: ✅ Limited seating inside the market, so take it to go and enjoy it on the go! ✅ Pair it with pickles to cut the richness and a cherry soda for the full experience! #PhiladelphiaFood #PastramiSandwich #Philadelphia #ExploringRestaurants #PhiladelphiaTravel #PhiladelphiaLife
