Harry's

Ah Harry's. It hasn't changed since I worked in Monadnock building in the late 90s: same adorable Korean couple taking your order, same 80s font on the posters, same generous helping of iceberg lettuce on every sandwich. 

Erik and I both got the hot pastrami with 'everything'- mystery white cheese, mealy tomatoes, green peppers, julienne sliced onions, and crispy iceberg lettuce. The bread is well-toasted and soft, but the pastrami was barely a step up from Jewel's. I like my pastrami on rye with yellow mustard so after the first two bites I couldn't stop thinking of all the other, better, pastrami sandwiches I could be eating. At the very least, I wished the weird half-melted processed cheese was mayonnaise.

That said, we love the space, the service, and just plain hanging out in the Monadnock building. It was a delight to stare at the Fisher building through the Chicago-windows on a drizzly day. We'll probably be back.
