Merion Station Jewish Deli Among Area's Best: Philly Mag

MERION STATION, PA — Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs have countless options to get a bite to eat. While many people focus on roast pork, soft pretzel, cheesesteak, and hoagie purveyors, the Jewish delis in and around Philly offer some of the best food options.

Philadelphia Magazine food writer Maddy Sweitzer-Lammé recently published "Where to Find Great Jewish Delis Around Philly."

"It’s not surprise that Philly is full of excellent Jewish delis: We’re a sandwich-obsessed city with a significant Jewish community, both in and outside the city," she writes. "Whether you’re looking for house smoked salmon, comforting matzoh ball soup, or a tangy, stacked-to-the-ceiling reuben, a crunchy-crisp latke, or all three, we’ve got a spot for you."

Among her top picks is a Merion Station deli.

Hymie's, located at 342 Montgomery Ave., was touted among the region's best.

Here's what Sweitzer-Lammé said about Hymie's:

Hymie’s has all the classics, including an exceptionally good egg salad, but you’d be remiss not to order some treats from their sweet case, which includes a wide variety of chocolate dipped pretzels, plus cookies, macaroons, and more.
