Mikey and Mel's famous deli in downtown DC?

Anyone tried this already? How are the pastrami and corned beef?

1828 L Street NW, Washington, DC 20036

I went and did a post on it. Briefly, they’re still getting their sea legs. Our group of 7 old guys didn’t make it easier (all ordering is electronic, and the online menu is so long that an iPhone is inadequate) I enjoyed the hot pastrami and the tongue. A friend really liked the chopped liver.



The corned beef hash was a bg thumbs down – good corned beef but they … made a hash of it. Eggs overcooked in 2 of 3 orders, and no crust.

It’s best by far to know what you want before you go, an to go either before noon or after the lunch rush. I’ll go back.
