Word is Spreading Like Mustard on Rye…
Snowy Chicago- Day 7 of USA road trip
Had a great day at two factories today in snowbound Chicago, but more about that in a later post. This is just a quick one to thank my friends at New York magazine for giving the site a boost online today. Check out the article here. Or below:
“Don’t Delay — Save the Deli!
The logo says it all — and you can get it on a thong.
We’re glad that the Second Avenue Deli will be making a comeback, even if it is on Third Avenue. But there’s no getting away from the fact that — between cultural assimilation and the continued ascendancy of corporate chains — old-time Jewish delis are an endangered species. That’s why David Sax launched Save the Deli, a Website that he promises will include “essays on deli culture, a growing database of Jewish delis around the world, podcasts, video, [and] photos.” (Sax has previously contributed to Daily Intelligencer.) Not only that, but he’ll be hawking merchandise — shirts, hats, and even thongs with the site’s logo on them — gotta pay for all that chopped liver one way or another. Sax will travel across the U.S. and Canada, documenting the delis as they disappear like sour tomatoes from a jar. David, we salute you. Our complimentary thong can be sent care of New York Magazine.”
Josh, I’ll send the thong if you model it for the site.
Wait…no… terrible idea….though it is Fashion Week.
