| - Caplansky's just does everything right.
Their beers are beautiful locals like Duggan's #9. Their soups might complicate your relationships with other soups (good borscht, of course, but split pea with smoked meat? Unhand me, you villain!) The versht is swell, the pickle plate is succulent, the smoked meat poutine is a challenge for a table, much less an individual.
But you go to Caplansky's for the deli. Their smoked meat is beautiful. Juicy without being soggy, fatty without being greasy, flavour oozing out of every pore. Served on rye with a pickle and a table full of local and imported mustards (I recommend the locally produced and unspeakably great Kozlik's Market Mustard).
If you want some variety, give their tongue sandwich a try. Don't wrinkle your nose like that, it makes you look funny - try the tongue and then come back here and tell me if I led you astray. If you want fries with your meal, find someone to share 'em - it's a big order but they, too, are tasty.
