Baltimore’s Corned Beef Row (1000 block of East Lombard St.) is in the area where Jewish settlers originally moved. There are still a couple of delis left – Attman’s and Weiss’s. I had heard the area called Jewtown so I guess they cleaned up the pejorative aspect of the name by renaming it Corned Beef Row.
I remember walking along Lombard St. in the 1970s and peering into a storefront where they had live chickens.
There are now two delis left on Lombard St. – Attman’s and Weiss’s. Attman’s looks like it did in the 1970s when I moved here. Look at the photos of old politicians in the inside pictures on Yelp.
At Attman’s, you go through a cafeteria-style line to order. You can eat in a small dining room.
Attman’s has a new location at Harbor Point. It’s very modern with a bar and waiters. It’s more expensive but the food is still excellent.
The other deli is the Weiss Deli Weiss’s has all the atmosphere of your high school cafeteria. See the Yelp photos. Unlike Attman’s, they are not on any delivery services as far as I can tell. The menu is much smaller but the food is good.
Sad!
