It became a strip mall with all the franchise shops, so I too, figured I’d just move to a place where I can get more space and clean air. The energy of the city still can’t be beat (as I found out), even though NYers are few and far between.

FYI, (Haydee went to my high school) when we had our high school reunion, about 10 of us went out to dinner afterward and there were only 2 who still lived in NYC. I didn’t count myself because I’m only around sometimes.

I would hate to see the Deli die in NY. I feel like we’ve seen so much die in our young lives. The death of yiddish is even sadder, especially at a bagel shop. It should be part of their employee training.

Your reasoning is right on. The lack of New Yorkers in NY is what drove me away. But now I’m longing for those ole LES fixes, Katz’s Pastrami sandwich, a knish, and maybe next time I’ll cross Delancey for a pickle. My mouth is even watering at the thought of a real bagel.

Now I’ve got to go eat. 🙂

Thanks!
