The 'Last Supper' at Miami's Rascal House Deli
As we mentioned last week, Wolfie's Rascal House in Miami was set for demolition this past Sunday. Today, the New York Times visits the classic old-school Jewish deli on its final night and as the take-apart begins, with patrons buying mementos off the walls and tables. Even if you don't live in Miami or have fond memories of Rascal's—having never been, I certainly don't—you can't help but think of your own favorite holdover from another era and imagine your reaction would be much the same on seeing it fade from the scene. I know I'd be in line in an instant to grab a stool from The Cozy Inn in Salina, Kansas. (But I hope it never comes to that while I'm still walkin' this earth.)

Here in Baltimore the oldest and the best deli is Attman's. It's been in the same location for over 100 years. The original owner's grandson now runs it. If God-fobid this would close I think the entire city would go into mourning and I'm sure that the family would strip the place of any and all momentos.
