It's Back Baybay!

If there is one thing that pains me these days, it's the thought that I will not be in New York at 162 East 33rd Street later this month. Because as many of you know...

The 2nd Ave Deli is reopening!



And, irony of all ironies, its new location will be steps from my old apartment at 200 East 33rd Street.

I suppose, in a way, it's a good thing that I I don't live there anymore because, with such easy access to The Deli, I would definitely set a Guinness record for Fastest Corned Beef-Induced Coma Suffered by a Relatively Healthy 29 Year-Old.



Today's New York Times has a great story about the re-opening: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/21/magazine/21deli-t.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5070&en=c290f7f025668726&ex=1193544000

Anyways, happy eating. I'll see you there when I'm home in February!

And as New York Times reporter and deli aficionado Richard F. Shepard used to say, “I love Jewish food, but when you eat it, 72 hours later you’re hungry again.”


Not a self-portrait, but it
may as well be.


You can't keep a good deli down...
