Chalfins' New York Style Delicatessen

Lower level
200 E. Chestnut St.
Chicago, IL 60611-2300

This traditional Jewish deli is so committed to authenticity that its smoked fish is regularly flown in from New York. Homemade chicken matzo ball soup, potato pancakes and gigantic sandwiches are popular, and there are plenty of lighter choices for those who think the overstuffed deli sandwiches are a bit too mountainous. Chalfins' draws a breakfast crowd with its reasonably priced omelets, French toast and homemade cheese blintzes.
