Corned Beef Row

"Corned Beef Row" is a stretch of East Lombard Street that was once the center of Jewish life in Baltimore. Today, only a few landmarks remain. Notable is Attman's Delicatessen, founded in 1915, which is famous throughout the city for its hot corned beef sandwiches. Attman's Delicatessen was founded by Harry Attman. Harry had 3 sons: Edward Attman (founder of Acme Paper & Supply ), Seymour Attman, and Leanord Attman (founder of Attman Properties). Since Harry, the deli has been operated by his son Seymour and now Harry's grandson Marc Attman. Attman's Delicatessen is the oldest Jewish deli in the country still operated by the original family.^[3]
