If there’s one thing this city could use more of, it’s access to deli sandwiches.
I love a good deli and I find it genuinely unfair that other cities around the US get to have so many fantastic delicatessens on every street corner.
Luckily, there are a few amazing eateries around the city where you can fulfill all of your deli dreams. Let’s take a dive straight in and get to know the most delicious deli spots around town a little bit better.
Brown Bag
About: Brown Bag Deli in German Village features amazing seasonal dishes and all of your favorite deli classics. You can dine in or get your food to go. If you choose to stay at the Deli, you can enjoy outdoor seating and treat yourself to some ice cream from the scoop shop next door or a nice walk around Schiller Park.

Katzinger’s Delicatessen
About: Katzinger’s is probably the most iconic deli that we’ve got here in Columbus. It’s a full-on, New York-style deli, offering everything from the Reuben to the pickle. The deli can get fairly busy, so if you’re visiting during peak hours (like lunchtime) it’s probably best to grab your order to go because this place can get crowded. But that’s just more proof of how delicious it is.
