Daniel Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I had dinner there a few weeks ago, the menu was really paired down, and we were the only people there from seven to eight. it's dead all over, part summer, part something else perhaps. we were walking around manhattan last night, lots of places empty.

Sneakeater Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I've noticed the same thing. You walk into places you think will be slammed, and . . . they're not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 May be. I have to say that my personal observation is that over the last five or maybe 10 years or so the City (or at least the kinds of places I tend to go) stopped emptying out for the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Bonner Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I was joking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I know you were. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I just wanted to make that point -- that this summer seems unusual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Suzanne F Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Please add Loeser's to the list. 231st Street, at the edge of Riverdale, or maybe that side of the street is Kingsbridge. Anyway, until Mr Loeser dies, it will go on. And yes, no Eisenberg's. What were you (or the compiler of the list) thinking?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Me? I agree. Just got found it on a list and threw it on to see reactions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mitchells Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Me? I agree. Just got found it on a list and threw it on to see reactions. Weren't you concerned about incorrect information being attributed to you? 😎 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Only by people not reading carefully. Or: yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Updated list: Katz's Carnegie Ben Ash 2nd Avenue Sarge's Ben's (various locations) Golden's Mill Basin Liebman's Dave's Mile End Jay & Lloyd's Mendy's Ben's Best Essen Fine & Schapiro Berger's Pastrami Queen Artie's Frankel's Loeser's (Barney Greengrass) We're keeping Mile End, yes? Barney Greengrass? Anyway, the main achievement is that we've identified more than twenty Jewish delis still in existence: I didn't count the number of branches of Ben's.

Melonius Thunk Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Does a Jewish Deli have to have eat-in capacity or can it be take out only? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is there any place on the list which doesn't have seating? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lex Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is there any place on the list which doesn't have seating? When the Manhattan branch of Mile End opened it didn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
