Michael Spector's Delicatessen, in what was Kibitz in the City, has been in soft-open mode for about a week now. Meal Ticket popped by the spot (703 Chestnut St.) earlier this week for a quick nosh. The space, which had two floors in public operation at Kibitz, is now worked down to one, with various cosmetic tweaks, including a cool old-school bathing-beauty print. (The second floor will be available for events.) They're still working on filling up the deli cases with smoked fish, salads, meats and other treats; Spector says these selections will be a mixture of traditional deli-case fare and stuff off their more modern menu, which you can check out here.
Like any good Jewish deli, Spector's spot is doing most everything in house, but here that extends to micro-brewed sodas (tried some great, not-too-sweet cherry cola and orange soda) and pastrami brined in small batches to guarantee quality. We grabbed a pastrami special with a side of waffle fries, and also tried the matzo ball and split pea soups and the "Benny Rubinson," which is what happens when a Reuben sandwich and Eggs Benedict make sweet, sweet love.
Delicatessen is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily right now, with extended p.m. hours on the way.
can't wait to get my nosh on here!

I tried it out the other day, it's really good. Fantastic latkes and kougel, good size sandwiches. I think it's a winner so far, keep up the good work! Try the apple cake, unbelievable.
OMG, this looks so good, I cant wait to try it. Im going this weekend!!!!
I'm in heaven - cornedbeef special on rye with homemade kugel. The new surroundings are perfect and the staff is adorable - much better than Kibbitz.
