We'd like to tell you exactly the same things we've told you over the last several years when Feig's was voted Best Delicatessen--for example, we'd like to mention the delicious corn beef, latkes, matzo-ball soup, whitefish and noodle kugel. But Feig's, dear readers, closed in early June. However, take heart: The space at 5071 E. Fifth St. has gone through a kosher transformation into the Fifth Street Deli (
5thstreetdeli.com), by the folks who own L'Chaim Catering. They've promised corn beef and other kosher standards. Let's see if they live up to your expectations in the next Best of Tucson™.
