My Top Ten NYC Slices

Brooklyn: Di Fara's is a masterpiece, as is Totonno's. Joe's in Park Slope is atrocious.
Spumoni Gardens somewhere in the middle.

UWS: I like V & T Pizzeria near Columbia University on Amsterdam Ave. Also Sal & Carmine walking distance from Symphony Space on Broadway.

The Best Jewish Delis: What's Your Favorite?

re Tabatchnik's in Union, N.J.: I could write a sonnet each about their deli and their appetizing. They smoked their stuff on site...the smokehouse was in back. I heard they were no longer what they had been when the closed, but still good.

I remember a good deli on Norwood Ave. in Deal, NJ in the old days. Any good delis on the Jersey shore these days?

The Best Bagel in New York City

Bagel Hole in on 7th Ave. in Park Slope makes a nice version of the old-fashioned chewy dense bagel that must be eaten that day. Terrace Bagel in Windsor Terrace makes very good slightly larger slightly softer bagels and good bialies. I had some good bagels from a place on Coney Island Ave. in Midwood, as well. Kosar's seems to have changed recipes withing the past year or two. Their classic bialies are no more, in my humble opinion, although the onion board (pletzl) is still tops.

H&H always was second rate. The place near Columbia is great (Absolute). Columbia Hot Bagel used to be great too.

Anyone remember the great New Jersey bagel places of yesteryear? I remember one on Chancellor Ave. in Irvington, and another on West End Ave. in Jersey City. Both were great places, basically wholesalers with small service counters. My dad would take us late Saturday night to get the early edition of the Sunday paper and hot bagels. Wiggler's in Union, NJ was great also.

I'd love to hear about other great bagels which are no more...
