No Tuesday lunch plans? Good news. DGS Delicatessen marks the official launch of its to-go lunch counter at 1317 Connecticut Avenue, Northwest, with free pastrami sandwiches for the first 50 customers on May 7. The pastrami is smoked in house and stacked between slices of mustard-slathered rye bread. Other options (check out the full menu after the jump) include whitefish salad on a Montreal-style bagel with tomato jam, fried capers, and thinly sliced radishes, and egg salad on pumpernickel with butter lettuce, harissa, and gribenes (chicken skin cracklins). The restaurant’s excellent matzo-ball soup is also available to go for $7.
