    Talk about yeridas hadoros…

    Yeah, I guess I miss Essex on Coney, BUT what I really miss is what Essex on Coney tried to copy…

    What happened there? Why’d they close? In addition to the food, the boss was so friendly!

    I thought the new kosher Carvill (/Essex) closed down a few months ago.

    Go to Subsational, ask for extra meat, ask them to make it hot, ask for fried onions. Nirvana lol.

    Fried onions with pastrami or corn beef??? I’ve never heard of that but it sounds delicious. I shall definitely request that the next time that I have a deli sandwich. Almost nothing cannot taste better with the addition of some tsibulah. Well…maybe ice cream.

    My vote goes to Shmulka Bernsteins. I can’t come off the Williamsburg Bridge in Manhattan without feeling my mouth water. Plus it was such a fun place to go to very late on a Motzei Shabbos.

    there’s a place called noah’s ark in the lower east side that has unbelievable corned beef and pastrami! reminds me of the good old days.

    Along with missing Shmulka’s, which was a long ago pleasure, I truly miss Dougies in KGH. It was a nicer atmosphere and better food then the one in Brooklyn, plus what’s there now is one of those Bucharian restaurants where there’s mixed dancing and a weird hechsher.

    I remember in Shmulks they used to have the waiters wear those Chinese caps with a fake black hair braid coming out the back.

    The funny thing was, only the Jewish waiters wore them, the Chinese waiters wouldn’t!

    btw… I NEVER heard of any kashrus issues at Bernstein’s and EVERYONE ate there.

    AinOhdMilvado: Of course there were kashrus issues!

    They didn’t have filtered water

    They didn’t have a fancy light to check lettuce with

    To paraphrase the lunar astronauts…

    “Better magnifying glasses were a small step for man

    but a huge step for the filter manufacturers and kashrus agencies.”

    (btw… I’m not denying the need for those things NOW.)

    Ainohd, that’s correct. Give this man some broiled kippered herring.

    Thanks,…nothing like it today.

    Yes, Famous was great, and if memory serves me, they also used to have another location on Eastern Parkway. I think that one closed up first.
