5 Helens agree: Wise Sons running out of pastrami and corned beef at 1:30pm on a Friday hurts. Get there early folks!

Mission Mission is our daily salute to San Francisco's most vibrant neighborhood. We love it here, and we bet you do too.

This makes me feel a little better about having to settle for corned beef after they ran out of pastrami.
The corned beef is decent, but the Pastrami is $$$$
I love these grandmothers!!!
Corned beef and pastrami my ding-a-ling
awww a kids in the hall reference. Straight up warms the heart.
i’ll take your word for it on the pastrami & corned beefs. all they had was brisket when i went, and it was naaasty.
those ladies, however, are straight up adorable.
Anybody know how to find the 5 Helens? They would make perfect City Exposed subjects in the SF Chronicle. Send me an email if you know them!!!
