RIP Carnegie Deli

NEW YORK — After 79 years of serving up heaps of cured meat to tourists, theater patrons, and workaday New Yorkers, the Carnegie Delicatessen will slice its last ridiculously oversized sandwich on Friday.
I dispute that their sandwiches were ridiculously oversized. :(

A "friend" told me that you can get a Reuben,or whatever name you choose to call him, in the alley behind...Oops, different kind of Reuben-never mind.

I ate there once. It was the day after I won $1.86 million. The prices seemed okay at that moment.

So your sandwich was about 1/100,000th of your winnings?

I have many hobbies, none of which have anything to do with you. You really need a spellchecker to know that was misspelled?
