TOP HAT – American
A bright, airy deli on NE 3rd Street in downtown Fort Lauderdale that fills up fast around noon. Sandwiches are the main event and they are built to order: pastrami, corned beef, or the half-and-half if you cannot choose. Mornings bring challah French toast, corned beef hash and a breakfast ramen; the kitchen also runs matzo ball soup, chicken pot pie and a serious lineup of cookies and challah. Diners come back for the made-to-order quality and staff who actually check in on the table. Breakfast through dinner, without the fuss.
