Bagel Shops in the USA

Our guide to bagel shops

Delis and sandwich shops are a lunch institution: Jewish-style delis with pastrami and corned beef piled high, Italian delis with hoagies and imported cold cuts, sub shops, Philadelphia cheesesteak stands and modern sandwich counters. Many also sell prepared salads, soups and grocery items.

Most delis do most of their business between late morning and mid-afternoon, and many close by early evening. Calling ahead or ordering online is common for office lunch orders.
