Hand-sliced kosher corned beef piled thick on Jewish rye bread, with spicy brown mustard. The defining Baltimore Jewish-delicatessen sandwich since 1915.

Attman's Delicatessen on the Corned Beef Row of Lombard Street has anchored Baltimore's Jewish-deli tradition since 1915, when Harry Attman opened the storefront in the East Baltimore Jewish quarter. The thick-cut corned beef on rye became the city's deli signature. Today Attman's remains the canonical operator alongside Lenny's in Pikesville; The General Muir in Atlanta and Eli's in Manhattan trace their lineage to the same Eastern European Jewish-American tradition. The Maryland take adds a heavy schmear of horseradish-mustard.
