I am pleased to announce that Sammy’s Bagels has finally stepped up to the plate and changed their layout.
The bagels are still where they were, but the register was moved to the end.
The soda fridge was moved to the end of the store. Basically, opening more room, if that is possible. No more gauntlet!
It felt a bit roomier, but they still have yet to get that Mr. Clean down pat. But hey, one step at a time..
In addition to the breaking news, I tried to meet a client for dinner on Wednesday night in the City. As it is the nine days, I couldn’t even get a place on line, let alone a table at Noi Due on West 69th St (in the same building as where Levana’s used to be). From what I heard, the line was appropriate as the place rocks. Guess that will have to wait.
After trying My Most Favorite Foods new location on West 72nd Street with the same outcome, we settled on high end Mike’s Pizzeria on Amsterdam and 92nd. As most people know, when you walk into any pizza store, you don’t look at the menu board. You look at what’s on display and what appears to be fresh rather than leftovers from the old kosher shop in Chernobyl. Not Mikes. They have a full menu of appies and pasta, in addition to a large fresh selection of personal pies. It easier to find oil in Israel than a fresh kosher personal pie in NJ, but if you head across the bridge and down to the Upper West Side, you can find it.
While short on tables, they have a good cleanup crew that will flip a table quickly and bring you your food after you order it at the counter. Drinks are great and meter parking lines the street at all times.
All in all, a great place to stop for a good quick meal with many varieties.
