Important: Jerry's delivers. Why? Because when you've gorged on the pastrami on rye,
turkey clubs and other mile-high sandwiches at this enormous Jewish deli (housed in what
used to be the Warsaw nightclub), you'll be craving more of the above 24/7.

It's hard to find Nuevo Latino cuisine that comfortably fits a midrange budget and is still
tasy, but in steps Jimmy'z. Make sure to try the

guava cheesecake.
Van Dyke Cafe

One of Lincoln Rd's most touristed spots, the Van Dyke is an institution akin to the News
Cafe, serving adequate food in a primo spot for people-watching. It's usually packed and
takes over half the sidewalk. Service is friendly and efficient, and you get free preening
models with your burgers and eggplant parmigiana. There's excellent nightly jazz upstairs.
