Gene's Sausage Shop & Delicatessen is a Lincoln Square institution founded in 1972 by Polish immigrant brothers John and Gene Luszcz. The market makes more than 40 varieties of smoked and fresh sausage on-site every day, backs it with a full old-fashioned butcher counter cutting fresh meat to order, and rounds it out with a European deli, imported groceries, cheese, and a beloved rooftop beer garden. It's as much a neighborhood landmark as a butcher shop.
