i miss essex! there’s nowhere to get decent corn beef and pastrami these days, but there’s enough cafe’s to eat at another one every day of the month. yeridas hadoros
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…
(Shmulka) Bernstein’s on Essex!!! THAT was great food!
What happened there? Why’d they close? In addition to the food, the boss was so friendly!
Hey isn’t the new essex called Mendy’s? i think they’re even in the same spot now
i had a very good corned beef sandwich at kd the other day….
Didnt essex move to ave M and e 19?

unfortunately, it closed.
kosherman – oiy vei! I feel so bad for you , that should be your biggest problem in life…AMEN!!!
p.s.kosherman – you don’t have to answer , but do you weigh less than 200 pounds?
Subsational has good deli sandwiches.
Essex reopened under the name Caraville Glatt
Caraville Glatt 1910 Ave M, Brooklyn, NY -Midwood (718) 336-1206 caravilleglatt.com
I thought the new kosher Carvill (/Essex) closed down a few months ago.
so right
You could be right. I havent been there in a while.
WIY & so right…
it did (close down a few months ago).
Bigger is not always better.
Kosherman
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.
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
Feif Un…
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.)
Caraville closed?? Wow, I’m behind the times…
EVERYONE ate EVERYWHERE; wasn’t it great?
ME 2!!!!
cherrybim…
The name of the dairy/vegetarian restaurant on 13th Avenue was…
(drum roll please….) Famous Restaurant.
Ainohd, that’s correct. Give this man some broiled kippered herring.
Thanks,…nothing like it today.
cherrybim…
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.
