Beantown Pastrami Company

Beantown Pastrami Company is the sandwich counter inside Boston Public Market where the pastrami is steamed for hours and carved by hand. A Reuben is an obvious place to start, but corned beef and roast turkey are on the menu too. The Thanksgiving sandwich lets you order that particular combination of flavors without waiting for November.

Sides include potato salad, coleslaw and pickles. The baked beans contain salt pork, something to know if you’re choosing sides for someone who doesn’t eat meat. You can also go for a grilled cheese with pastrami when a standard sandwich won’t quite do. Find the counter inside the Hanover Street market; its opening hours differ from those of some neighboring vendors.
