We can never get enough corned beef and pastrami and it looks like our hunger will be soon satisfied with two new delicatessen openings in Philadelphia. Drew Lazor at City Paper’s MealTicket reports that Cherry Hill based Kibitz Room will be opening sometime before the end of the month at 1521 Locust Street. The restaurant will not only be serving their massive deli sandwiches and “20 ounce pound” portions of meat, but will also have a full menu including lox platters, kreplach and all your other favorite goodies.

Meanwhile, The Insider reports that Famous 4th Street, our favorite Philadelphia institution is scouting a second location on 19th Street, just south of Market. Word on the street is that they are shooting for a late summer opening.

We’re very excited to get over to both of these delicatessens and try them for ourselves. Check back for more coverage.

    Some friends and I have been lamenting the lack of a good Jewish deli option in Center City. Apparently, our laments have been heard.

    Will Jewish Delis be the new trend in CC, as steakhouses have been recently? I guess we'll know if Steven Starr opens one.
  • Starr is already serving corned beef specials in Teplitzkys at The Chelsea in Atlantic City. Wouldn't be surprised if he brought a full-on deli concept to Center City. Here's the menu (PDF):
