On the one hand, of COURSE it makes sense. The lines were outrageous, and it was a pain the keester to have all those folks crowding in over you if you were unlucky enough to be at one of the first few tables in the front of the restaurant - especially in the winter! So yes, the expansion makes sense. But on the other hand, those among us with a strong sense of nostalgia know that when things start to change, some of the "core" history is erased in the process. My hope - they should open a connection down in the back and separate 'em that way - let one be just catering and take out and the other stay exactly the way it is! No Montrealer - Jewish or otherwise - holds on to any single institution and the associated memories quite as tightly as we do when it comes to our beloved Schwartz's. Wow: This is tough!
