sounds good to me.

I think you mean a Dr. Browns celery soda, known as celery tonic to my generation. The cream is good too.
The place to go is Katz's on Delancey St. Most kosher delis dissappeared with the cholesterol scare. Add a portion of stuffed derma (kishka) to the pastrami sandwich and you might have to return to Canada in a box. You would definitely be in heaven, however. :angel:
Expect to see you on June 28.

P.S. you can recognize me by my avatar. It was taken in 1961, but I look in the mirror every day and have noticed no changes.
 
cathy, you realize if you bring your kid, he/she (?) will automatically become one of our models, 😉

and i meant cream soda, celery soda sounds awful!
kosher deli disappearance?! say it ain't so...my friends have kept it a secret mayb thinking i would never return home for a visit again.

J.Ed, I think we're talking June here. Just FYI!

Joe - I just spoke with She Who Must Be Adored - you know she's from NYC herself. If we can arrange the finances, we'll arrive together and split up; me with you guys and she with her family. If there's going to be some kind of dinner later, she'd be up for that.

Anyway, we'll try to put it together.

Best Regards,

Bill Mattocks

Sadly, its true. After my last post a friend of my wife who is a maven (expert) recommended the 10th St. Deli on 10th and 2nd Ave. also a bit out of the way, but according to her very good; believe me most of them are gone, even Pastrami King across from the county offices and courts in Queens which had excellent pastrami (they made it themselves) and an ideal location. I always tried to pull jury duty there because of them, but they have been gone for about ten years.
Celery soda may sound awful but it is actually very good and goes great with pastrami because it is not as sweet as other sodas. It doesn't taste like a stalk of celery, believe me.
Kurt M.
P.S. How are you feeling?

Would love to attend, but this week-end I'll be rubbing elbows with the cognocenti (sp?) of Argus collecting.

Sorry, this is what happens when you have too many windows open and you reply to the wrong thing in the wrong place.
 
I may try and make it. I don't work too far from there.
Just curious... besides deli is there anything else that you guys are interested in seeing (or shooting.) If the weather is nice, I recommend a walk over the brooklyn bridge.

Adam, I think the agenda is open. In my mind, I think this is less of a see the sights trip and more of a getting to see you thing, and have fun taking some pictures.
 
cathy, you realize if you bring your kid, he/she (?) will automatically become one of our models,

that's fine. he is my biggest subject these days and really is a big ham when he gets warmed up. his name is ian and he is 2 and has a wide range of moods so there is some thing for everyone to shoot from the playful imp to the ugly temper tantrum. (that's why i want to bring his dad...it will help with the ugly.)

is a museum on the agenda?
 
I'll settle for a good Coney Island knish at that deli. Too bad you can't get them deep fried any more. That also went out with greater awareness of cholesterol problems. See you there!

Cheers,
Huck
 
Coney Island... the birthplace of hotdogs!

There was a PBS special on American foods about a year ago, and two of the best places for hotdogs were on Coney Island.

There's a reputed hotdog stand in Chicago too...

And think of the B&W images you can capture there!
 
rover is right on as far as an agenda. i grew up in n.y. so the sights are not high on my list.

priority #1 is meeting you guys & gals and then #2 is eating food that i grew up with.

as a matter of fact, if it wasn't for you folks i would stay out of manhatten all together and just relax on the island and visit with by friends.

i'm ok with doing stuff also but i'm also ok with an open agenda.

Lets hope there are more. Count me in for 6/28. Joe, do you remember Junior's in downtown Brooklyn? Excellent pastrami, plenty of variety for those who would like something else, NYC atmosphere, easy to get to and not far from the Brooklyn Bridge. As I own it since buying it from a very nice guy for a good price last year, all RFF members have my permission to walk across it. Come one come all. Lets hope the weather is good.

kurt owns a deli?
if i was so inclined i'd offer to marry to you (or at least date) but maybe just pals for now!

i'm embarassed to say that, even though i was born in luthren hospital in brooklyn, i never spent much time there. and now, well after moving 30 years ago, i will be as much a tourist in my home town as others not born there.
i never did and still don't have much of a sense of direction, i get turned around so easy it's funny.
none the less, perhaps a cab ride to brooklyn might be in order.

joe
 
No, unfortunately, I don't own a deli. I was referring to my purchase of the Brooklyn Bridge but apparently I dangled a participle.
The subway will get us to downtown Brooklyn faster and cheaper if that is where we choose to go.
BTW, Lutheran Hospital is still there and fuctioning. Many of the smaller hospitals are long since gone, but Lutheran is mainstay serving the Sunset Park neighborhood and surrounding area.
Kurt M.
 
i guess i should be happy to know a guy who owns a bridge 😉 but the deli was way more fun to think about!!

i wondered if the hospital was still there.

the most time i spent in brooklyn was in university. i was dating a girl whose dad had lots of money. thay had a very nice shack in sheepshead bay.
at the time i had no car and public transportation in & out of there was poor so i wound up spending quite a few nights in the 'guest room'
ah, the old days, when i had hair and a love life...ha!
