Standing on line to pay my lunch tab last week at the 2nd Ave Deli (relocated a few years ago to First Ave!), I overheard the following conversation at the take-out counter.
Young Asian woman: “What soup do you have?”
Old deli guy: “Split pea, lentil, mushroom & barley, chicken noodle, chicken & rice, vegetable, and kreplach.”
Young Asian woman: “Kreplach?”
Old deli guy: “Jewish dumpling.”
Young Asian woman: “Ah, that sounds good, I’ll take a quart.”
Did I tell you I ❤ New York?

Very funny. I would have said wonton.
That guy Blond, always using his noodle.
Thanks to your blog I feel in some way that a part of me is living in New York.
Visit more often Ants!
Love this! You should send this to Metropolitan Diary in the Times!
I did Sara, the failing New York Times didn’t print it!
Nice, Dana.
Thanx Geoff, hop across the pond and we’ll take you to the Deli!

Read something interesting. Seems some people send in blog material almost every day. It becomes addictive.
