Step inside Manny’s Cafeteria & Delicatessen in Chicago, a legendary family-run deli since 1942, serving sandwiches that taste like home.
Tucked away on South Jefferson Street in Chicago sits a legendary deli that has been serving up comfort on a plate since 1942. Manny’s Cafeteria & Delicatessen isn’t fancy or pretentious, it’s just honest-to-goodness food that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into your grandmother’s kitchen.
From politicians to blue-collar workers, everyone lines up at this unassuming spot for overstuffed sandwiches that have been famous for generations.
Manny’s was founded in 1942 and named after Emanuel “Manny” Raskin, becoming a Chicago institution where Jewish deli traditions thrived in the Windy City.
