Brent's Delicatessen & Rstrnt   

Craving a hot black pastrami Reuben on rye, piled high with melted Swiss and dripping with sauerkraut? Brent's is the place to order this heart-stopping sandwich and to experience that good old-fashioned food high -- the New York-style delicatessen, complete with chocolate egg creams and Big Apple attitude. Other than a great place for traditional Jewish noshes like blintzes, knishes and kishka, Brent's has soared in popularity over the years due partly to breakfast, with French toast sandwiches, deluxe omelets and hand-cut lox. From an early morning munch to dinners after eight, expect crowds of eager folks schmoozing while waiting for a booth or table at this family-owned-and-operated spot, which likes to treat guests like visiting relatives. If you decide to take a seat at the counter because the wait is too long, you'll get to see the cooks bustling at the grill and the waitresses hustling out orders. Better yet, you also get a front-row view of the restaurant's signature four-layer cakes and the sub-sized eclair.
