I’m a bit of a deli sandwich snob. Having had what I believe are some of the best from the likes of Katz in NYC and Alvie’s in Cleveland, I think I’ve earned that right.
With that said, finding a great Jewish deli style sandwich has been next to impossible in DC, that is until I stumbled upon Stachowski’s in Georgetown.
Located off the beaten path at the corner of 28th & P, Stachowski’s is a tiny shop with a mom and pop type feel. There’s fresh produce, as well as locally sourced jams, sauces and other goodies(they even sell a DC style mumbo sauce); but most importantly there’s a butcher!
And that’s where you’ll find the best pastrami sandwich in DC. Yep, the best.
Of course there are other sandwiches, but if it’s your first time here, don’t even waste your time, just go straight for the gold. The $12.99 pricepoint startled me but as I was just about to start up a rant a la, “$12.99 for a SANDWICH, oh heeeeee–YES!”
This pastrami wonder is huge! I literally shared it with my family and still had 1/2 to save for lunch the next day. The pastrami is moist and flavorful and just amaze.
I really can’t even put into words how good this sandwich is, you’ll just have to try it yourselves. Next time you’re in Georgetown skip out on the frilly, overpriced options and head to this neighborhood gem.
