Although it has the sleek brass, glass, and polished-wood look of a chain restaurant, this charming pub is locally owned and operated.

Mister Brisket (a.k.a. Sanford Herskovitz) has expanded his specialty butcher shop to include a carryout sandwich counter, featuring everything from barbecued beef to rich Romanian pastrami.
