Famous 4th Street Delicatessen

Since 1923, this corner delicatessen has been a Philadelphia tradition. For a number of years, people have gathered at Famous 4th Street Delicatessen to see, be seen, and - above everything else - eat. Along with the food came the experience of being in such an establishment, one that for more than 80 years was run by the same family.  During that time, and to this day, famous locals as well as internationally known personalities have visited Famous. A number of films have even included Famous as part of the Philadelphia landscape, most notably Philadelphia (1993) and In Her Shoes (2005).  Though Famous changed hands in 2005, the restaurant continues to prosper and thrive in the tradition of Jewish delicatessen, one that so few can achieve with such style.
