The 26 best Jewish delis in America, according to Foursquare

The Jewish deli is an American institution, serving up some of the classics of our national cuisine: fresh bagels and glistening lox, a proper pastrami sandwich heaped high with juicy sliced meat, pickles bursting with tart flavor.

Foursquare, the city-guide app for discovering new places, has compiled a list of the 26 top-rated Jewish delis across the US. The data takes into account likes, saves, tips, and more from Foursquare users. Some are kosher and old-school; some are creative, trendy takes on traditional deli cuisine. (And, unsurprisingly, many of the list are concentrated on the East Coast).

Whether you're seeking your deli fix in Brooklyn or Texas, here's where to find the best brisket and more.
