When I first worked in NYC many years ago, my friend WDS and I used to frequent this joint. The food was always good, and the prices were always reasonable. Today was my first chance to visit this place in years, and it didn't bring back any good (or bad) memories. It was just another New York City restaurant that has weathered the pandemic, and has found a way to stay alive until things return to a new "Normal".

FH and I had planned to visit Manhattan's Chinatown or Williamsburgh, Brooklyn today, and Manhattan won out. So it was off to the core of the Big Apple, hitting every traffic jam along the way. Once we reached Manhattan, FH's GI Tract started acting up, and we ended up in the West Village. This is we found an on-street parking spot nearby several open restaurants. And it was just in time, as FH had to take care of some urgent business. With that out of the way, we sat down to enjoy a nice late lunch or early dinner.
Considering that it was starting to get a little bit cooler after we ate, FH suggested that we head over to the Brooklyn Wegmans, so that she could pick up some food before going home. Unlike our previous visits, we had no problems finding a parking spot - Passover was starting, and most Jews were likely to be at home celebrating the holiday with family. And then, FH's GI Tract acted up again. So we cut our shopping run short, and went back to her place. Unfortunately, there were no spaces available near her apartment, so I ended up going home earlier than either of us wanted.
