Standing on line to pay my lunch tab last week at the 2nd Ave Deli (relocated a few years ago to First Ave of course), I overheard the following conversation at the take-out counter.
Young Asian woman: What soup do you have today?
Old deli guy: Split pea, lentil, mushroom & barley, chicken noodle, and kreplach.
Young Asian woman: Kreplach?
Old deli guy: Jewish dumpling.
Young Asian woman: Ah good, I’ll take it.
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!
Funny- so very gotham!
Yep, so New Yawk!
Love your blogs. Brighten my day!

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