Relatively inexpensive, authentic, New York-style Jewish deli that serves a mean corned beef sandwich.

Dining room at Eleven City Diner, Chicago, ILVintage-cool décor and a hip diner vibe pervade this space, which fills with business people and kids from Columbia College next door. Start with mini Reuben sandwiches, followed by The Woody Allen, a triple-decker sandwich from Carnegie Deli in New York that alternates corned beef and pastrami on soft rye. If you come for dinner, count on heftier options, too, like melt-in-your-mouth brisket. As for sides, be sure to get an order of pickles and pickled green tomatoes, and save room for the moist chocolate cake finale. There’s an in-house soda jerk, so don’t be shy about slurping nothing more than a Green River float or Brooklyn egg cream.
