Manny’s is THE classic Jewish deli in Chicago for more than 80 years. And in true Chicago form, it’s also been a political hangout over the years (some crooks, some not). It has all the things you’d want from a classic Jewish deli - it’s family-owned, has a long history, there’s counter service, and to eat, there are stacked corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, matzo balls the size of your head, latkes, and black and white cookies to cap off any meal.
