right across from dinic's, hershel's serves all the classic deli meats - pastrami, brisket, and my favorite, corned beef.
i had the cornedbeefspecial (russian dressing and coleslaw), and as you can see i had a heck of a time keeping the sandwich together.
i even found some on my backpack as i was putting my gear away.
hershel's is named after the owner's uncle hershel, who fled wwii era poland to russia, then to the us,
where he settled in nyc and got a job in 1946 as a cook in katz's deli on manhattan's les.
when katz's deli was sold in 1989, he retired, feeling as though he made his mark.
