Remember the old corner deli? Most towns and cities had that one deli to which everyone flocked for fresh meats, cheeses, and other goodies. And, if we were hungry, we could order a scrumptious sandwich, sometimes paired with a pickle and potatoes chips or golden fries. Some of those classic corner delis still exist today, like this deli in Pennsylvania that’s been a favorite for more than 80 years.
Life certainly has changed since the Famous 4th Street Delicatessen opened on a corner in Philadelphia in 1923.

The deli, popular with international and local personalities, had the same owners for eight decades before its current owner took over in 2005.
