Had lunch today with an old friend from college at the world famous Second Avenue Deli... now, just off 3rd Avenue at 33rd Street.
When I first came to NYC around 1993 I lived (or rather, squatted, for a short time) across the street from the Second Avenue Deli's original location at 2nd Ave and 10th Street and only ate there once. I remember enjoying it a lot back then; the food, the staff, and the halvah! It was my first REAL introduction to learning what being a "New Yorker" was all about.
I hadn't been back since (I think the main reason was I that I had no money or job and it was too pricey). But today, I got a taste of all that back (literally). Matzoh Ball Soup, Pastrami Sandwich, pickles... all of it great and all of it reminded me of why I still love NYC so much. I may live in Jersey now, but I really LIVE in NYC.
I think my college buddy enjoyed it too.
