New York born & bred deli snob responds:  I'm afraid Loeb's is typical of 
the poor imitations of New York delis common in DC.  Go to a real New 
York deli and you'll see -- or don't go and remain happily ignorant of 
the real thing.  Toojays is acceptable Miami-style deli (deli having been 
exported from New York with the early New York Jewish migration to 
Florida in the twenties and thirties).  Unfortunately, I don't think 
there is a New York style place worth recommending in DC.
