You Can Still Order Pastrami By The Pound At This Old School Eatery In Minnesota
In Minnesota, old-school eateries are increasingly scarce, often supplanted by franchises and chains – but there’s one classic deli in St. Paul that’s been going strong since 1946. At Cecil’s Deli and Bakery, you can still pop in for one of the best sandwiches you’ll find in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, then take a pound of pastrami and some potato salad home with you.
Cecil’s Deli and Bakery has been a stalwart of St. Paul’s Highland Park neighborhood for more than 75 years.
In addition to its deli and bakery counters, it also has a restaurant area where you can sample its mouthwatering wares before you take some home with you.
Although the deli serves up burgers and chicken sandwiches, as well as snappy hot dogs, it’s really the deli sandwiches (and sides!) that are the stars of the show at Cecil’s.
Grab some fresh-baked bread, or choose something from the desserts and pastries - in case you need to satisfy a sweet tooth after you get home.
Visit Cecil’s website to take a look at the menu, see its hours, or to order takeout. After your visit to Cecil’s, stretch your legs at nearby Crosby Farm Regional Park, where you can walk the trails along the Mississippi River.
