What about the patcha?
Reader comment on: 2nd Avenue Deli May Move Uptown on 3rd

Submitted by Thai Jeff, Jun 2, 2007 02:00

Second Ave. Deli was the only place to get a decent patcha. Mention it to some and they swoon, to others and they gag. No one was neutral. For that reason alone I welcome the next coming of Second Avenue Deli. Of course there will be many who will compare the new digs to the original (actually the second location), but that always occurs with change. I am sure that the food will be of the same quality as always. Anything less would be an insult to Abe's memory. I would be willing to travel half way around to world for a corned beef/tongue combo with a Cel Ray Tonic.
