I really wanted to love Yitz's. Lots of good memories about this place from my childhood, warm, welcoming owner who chatted us up, classic deli service (highly competent, slightly rude). It has a lot going for it.
But, my corned beef on rye (waiter's recommendation - "it's the best in the city") was just ordinary, and the kishke was poor as well. That said, this was a first visit in 20 years - I'm not willing to give up on it that quickly. I'll be back and will refine this review later.
