2nd ave deli, nyc - r.i.p.

We were so sad to hear of the demise of the 2nd Avenue Deli in New York. We have enjoyed the cookbook for years, and just this year, I had the pleasure of a visit "in person". OMG, the greatest chicken soup with matzo balls. Tbe greatest homemade pickles. The greatest giant meat stacked sandwiches. The most wonderful atmosphere, with this wonderful automat located just inside the front door. The closing of this place is a TRAVESTY. I don't get to use the word "travesty" very much, but this is a great use of the word. Holy cow; it's a shame--SHAME that this place closed. A SHAME. SHAME on whoever let this happen.

Here's an interesting tribute.
