Various papers that say the Knicks are the best team in the league
'On paper we might be the best team in the league.' Amar'e Stoudemire w/ a straight face
— Adam Zagoria (@AdamZagoria) April 13, 2014
Amar'e Stoudemire literally said that quote you see right there. And he said it yesterday, after the Knicks had already been eliminated from the playoffs despite playing in the Eastern Conference and despite having the second-highest payroll in the entire league this season. Whoops.
Or not so whoops? I scoured the NBATV offices to see if there was any truth to the rumor that the Knicks might be the best team in the league, but only on paper. The results may surprise you.
Notebook paper.
Printer paper.

NBA Happenings: Apr. 14, 2014
Shoutout: 47 points, five assists and three steals for Stephen Curry in an overtime loss in Portland. When you score like that, it doesn't matter if your team wins or loses, at least from a fake internet award standpoint. In that scenario, wins and losses are irrelevant.
Not so much: The Sacramento Kings played their penultimate game last night, a game in which DeMarcus Cousins picked up his 16th technical of the season, which means he'll be suspended for the Kings' final game of the season (assuming the tech isn't rescinded), a home tilt against the Suns. Sacramento ganked a win off the Timberwolves though, so I guess it wasn't the worst night ever.
Streetz: I literally did not know that this kind of play could exist between Zach Randolph and Nick Calathes.
Not only did this mind-blowing basketball thing happen, the Grizzlies won, meaning they're just a win away from clinching a playoff spot in the Western Conference. They play Phoenix tonight, and the Suns are the team who just so happen to be chasing Memphis for that last spot. Should be bonkers.

Naya Rivera is on the cover of Prestige magazine this month where she talks about playing Santana on Glee:
"Trying to be consistent as an actor is really the hardest thing. It's been amazing to play the same character for five to six years now because it really lets me flex my acting muscles. But playing a character for that long, you have to really push yourself to keep things new and fresh and interesting. In the episode that airs tomorrow, Santana sings 'Don't Rain on My Parade,' which was something new because Santana doesn't really sing too many show tunes. But that's the hardest part really, keeping things interesting."
Speaking of, check out this clip of Rachel and Santana doing "Flashdance" on EW.
Brightest Young Things says you need to know about comic Candy Lawrence, and I agree.
Paper magazine has a great piece on Angel Haze and details how the rapper was kicked out of her family's home at 13 when she came out as a lesbian.

She's a true success story.
Katy Perry is throwing shade at Miley Cyrus after kissing her at a recent Miley show. The singer told an Aussie talk show host:

Portrayals of lesbians in the media suggest that society at large has been simultaneously intrigued and threatened by women who challenge feminine gender roles, and fascinated and appalled with women who are romantically involved with other women. A sub-set of vaginal fisting attempts to photograph
anal milf
the female cervix immediately after the fist is removed from the now-gaping vagina. Originating in Japan in the 1980s, the genre subsequently spread to North America and Europe, and crossed over into gay pornography. Women in homosexual relationships responded to this designation either by hiding their personal lives or accepting the label of outcast and creating a subculture and identity that developed in Europe and the United States. In academic discourse, racial fetishism is a postcolonialist term found in the writings of authors such as Homi K. Tentacle erotica can be consensual, but frequently contains elements of non-consensual sex. Some straight actors have started acting in gay porn only to be accused of being gay while others first step was to strictly do solo scenes. Usually that person prefers to stage the wetting so that his/her legs become soaked with urine. The smotherbox is placed on a stable surface. Specific sex acts Anal Anal pornography features anal penetration with a penis, dildo, other objects, or some combination of them. A somewhat controversial ejaculation control technique is to put pressure on the perineum, about halfway between the scrotum and the anus, just before ejaculating. The existence of such content in commercially available pornography is widely considered an urban legend. Several hundred exclusively pegging films were produced, as well as twice as many bisexual and straight films with strap-on scenes. In more vigorous forms of fisting, such as punching or punchfisting, a fully clenched fist may be inserted and withdrawn slowly. Entacle erotica describes a type of pornography most commonly found in Japan which integrates traditional pornography with elements of bestiality and a fantasy, horror, or science-fiction theme.

Most accurate Finger Oximeter – A Review
It is awesome! The 6 distinct display modes, quick and accurate reading, warranty, 30 hours of uninterrupted operation, light-weight, and what not. This is not the end; they also have low batter accommodation and use the easily available AAA rechargeable or alkaline batteries. They have lower power consumption and low battery indicator. The best part is that it is suitable for various finger sizes ranging from paediatric to grown adults.

These are a must have if you have a kiddo with narrow airways (mine has Down syndrome) or asthma type problems. You can see exactly when and if they need to go to the doctor/ER with breathing problems. I've had several nurses comment how nice this one is!

Dad's doctor recommended this.
The doctor said we have to monitor Dad's oxygen saturation. I didn't bother checking with other people what's the best oximeter because his doctor highly recommended this one. He showed us the two kinds of oximeter at the hospital, the other one is this brand, the other one a less known one. We did the test and checked if this one by Oxi-Go will work well and it did. Both brand measured the same, the other one he said is more expensive and since the Oxi-Gow works the same, at a more affordable price then we bought this! It never failed us!

There's been a bit of a brouhaha over the Federal Reserve's inadvertent early release Tuesday evening of minutes from its closed-door March 19-20 policy meeting.
As The Associated Press writes, "employees at JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs Group, Wells Fargo and Citigroup were among those to receive [the] market-sensitive information."
The Fed says a staffer mistakenly sent the report to a group, also including some trade associations and lawmakers, that should have gotten the information right after it was made public — not before. The Fed's inspector general is going to investigate what happened.
There haven't been any reports to indicate that anyone who got the news a day early traded on the information (which was supposed to be released at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday; after discovering the mistake, the Fed put it out to the rest of the world at 9 a.m. ET that morning).
But once the minutes were there for everyone to see, they did move financial markets. As The New York Times writes, stock markets rallied. Traders focused on signs that the Fed policymakers are committed to battling "a weak economy and soft labor market," CNBC says.
All this fuss about minutes of a meeting held three weeks ago raises a question: Why do they matter so much to so many investors and financial institutions?
It's because "the markets are always looking for tiny morsels of information about what these guys are thinking," says Michael Englund, chief economist at Action Economics, a bond and currency consulting service that provides its clients with economic analysis.
The minutes offer a chance to see how Fed policymakers are "balancing their different views," Englund tells us. "And any subtle changes can change perceptions in the markets."
Other than occasional speeches given by Fed policymakers, Chairman Ben Bernanke's twice-annual testimony before Congress and his handful of news conferences each year, Fed watchers don't get much information about what the central bank's chiefs are thinking. So the meetings' minutes get parsed carefully. The policymakers gather eight times a year.
And, Englund says, "this was a bad one to leak because it did [end up] moving the market." Traders concluded, he says, that "perhaps there was more energy" expressed by Fed policymakers for gradually reducing the amount of stimulus they're giving the economy — meaning that those policymakers thought the economy is on the upswing.
Of course, with economics there's always an "on the other hand." In this case, since the Fed policymakers met in mid-March there's been disappointing news on job growth. That could mean the economy isn't doing as well as those Fed officials thought, which in turn could mean that they won't move to ease up on their stimulus efforts.
We won't know what Bernanke and his colleagues think, though, until the third week of May — when the Fed releases (presumably on time) the minutes of their April 30-May 1 policy meeting.

Study: Nearly Half of Marketers Will Launch Holiday Campaigns Before Halloween. Ugh.
As a true New England girl, I love all things Autumn with an almost maniacal passion — the leaves, the hot cider, the apple picking, the pumpkin carving, and, most especially, Halloween. But over the course of my lifetime, I've noticed (as we all have) the ever-encroaching holiday shopping season infiltrating my sacred season of costumes and pumpkin pie — it happens earlier every year. Once upon a time, people complained about Christmas trees in the malls before Thanksgiving, but now we run the risk of bumping into Santa Clause while shopping for Trick-or-Treat candy. Creepy (in more than one sense).
If you, too, are frustrated by the creep of the holiday shopping season, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that this is a trend that shows no sign of retreating. A new study done by Experian Marketing Services, which surveyed more than 200 marketers about their cross-channel marketing plans for the holiday season, found that 50 percent of all marketers plan to launch their holiday campaigns before Halloween.
"Retailers have been extending the shopping seasons with promotions, post-recession, so it's not surprising to see that nearly half of all marketers stated they would launch a holiday campaign before Halloween," said Bill Tancer, general manager of global research of Experian Marketing Services, in a news release.

EOC Situation Report #21
EOC Situation Report #21
Influenza A(H1N1)
Thursday, 11 June 2009
6:00 pm, EDT
- The World Health Organization raised its global pandemic alert level to Phase 6 today. This means that sustained community transmission of a new influenza virus has now been confirmed in more than one WHO region, and that a global pandemic is now officially declared. Read the Director General's statement to the press.
- It is important to note that the change in phase reflects geographical spread of the new influenza A (H1N1) virus, and not the severity of illness that it causes.
- At this time, WHO considers the overall severity of the influenza pandemic to be moderate. This assessment is based on scientific evidence available to WHO, as well as input from its Member States on the pandemic's impact on their health systems, and their social and economic functioning.
- Countries should prepare to see cases, or the further spread of cases, in the near future. Countries where outbreaks appear to have peaked should prepare for a second wave of infection.
- Guidance on specific protective and precautionary measures has been sent to ministries of health in all countries. Countries with no or only a few cases should remain vigilant.
- Countries with widespread transmission should focus on the appropriate management of patients. The testing and investigation of patients should be limited, as such measures are resource intensive and can very quickly strain capacities.
- WHO continues to recommend no restrictions on travel and no border closures.
- For the latest reports on the status of Influenza A(H1N1) in the Americas please check the daily epidemiological alerts available in the PAHO website.
- Guidance for national authorities.
- PAHO's influenza A (H1N1) portal.
- Pan American Health Organization website.
- World Health Organization website.
- For constant updates on the influenza A(H1N1) situation, check the PAHO and WHO channels in Twitter.
The PAHO/WHO Emergency Operations Center Situation Report will issue situation reports as the situation requires.

News Summary: Poll positive for Germany's MerkelBy The Associated Press
MERKEL MANIA: The Forsa agency's poll for Stern magazine showed that support for Angela Merkel's conservative party is at 42 percent, the highest level since Merkel became Germany's leader in November 2005.
STEADY HAND: Merkel has been helped by a robust economy and her handling of Europe's debt crisis. But the weakness of her coalition partners, the pro-market Free Democrats, is a complication as she seeks a third term.
SAVE THE DATE: Germany's national election is scheduled for September.

text: Reid: GOP Should Purge Tea Party Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 29 May 2013 post a comment More: Tea Party Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is fed up with Tea Party conservatives and wants Republicans to get rid of them to make life easier for Democrats in the Senate. According to the Las Vegas Sun, Reid, in an interview with "To the Point" that will air on Saturday, "said the key to solving what he has labeled as Republican obstruction is for the party to rid itself of so-called Tea Party Republicans." Tea Party Republicans in the Senate like Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Mike Lee (R-UT) have not only frustrated old bulls on the left like Reid but also institutional Republicans like Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). The former GOP presidential candidate referred to Tea Party legislators like Cruz and Paul as "wacko birds" and has criticized them for not playing by what he deems to be the established rules in the Senate.

When it was announced that the traditional Sugar House Fireworks would be discontinued in 2010 due to lack of funding, Scott Workman, a resident of Sugar House, Utah, contacted the Sugar House Park Authority to see what he could do.
After several meetings, Workman, took on the responsibility of raising funds for the 2010 show.
Through his efforts, he successfully raised enough funds from sponsorships to enable the fireworks show go on. 5 years later, Apollo Burger has saved the 2014 Sugar House Fireworks along with the help of other sponsors; Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County.
The Sugar House Fireworks 2014 is planned for Friday, July 4, at the Sugar House Park and will feature a 30-minute firework show presented by Vortex Fireworks at 10pm. Prior to this display, starting at 12:00 noon, concessions, vendors and Bounce House fun for the kids will be at the park along with necessary police and medical personnel for security and safety assistance.
Why we really must continue to save and keep this celebration alive.
During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia declaring the United States independent from Great Britain. After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4.
Independence Day is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays. Independence Day is not just another federal holiday, but it is an event that stirs us on this day. Time will be spent reflecting upon its relevance to our way of life. It is, as it should be, a celebration of the founding of this Republic, and its independence as a nation. Many Americans will talk with one another or with their children about the impossible dream made true by a handful of remarkable men. Many of our fellow Americans will reflect about the new concept of government they created for us, one based upon the adoption of a Constitution, which established the principles of self-government and the limitations on the powers granted to that government.
What we are celebrating is not just the meaning of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness embodied in the Declaration. Equally as important is the form of government that was established and then enshrined in the Constitution adopted in 1787 as the foundation and source of legal authority for the United States. What was provided to us by the Founders is captured by an exchange between a bystander and Benjamin Franklin. At the end of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia a woman awaiting some announcement of the results that had been produced asked Franklin: "What have we got, a republic or a monarchy" to which he responded, "a republic, if you can keep it."
My friends, these more important reasons listed above, let us keep this tradition alive so that we may pass on the importance to each generation of our wonderful United States of America, the greatest country in the world, a shining beacon to which many have strived for, sacrificed for, and have given their lives to defend, honor and sustain.

There are none.
the closest one that is edible is in Woodbridge off the Wilbur Cross named Katz's. No relationship to the LES location, unfortunately.
re: jfood
Sorry J,
I have to disagree with you. I would not consider Katz's a Jewish deli, but a NY style deli.
Some of the meats and the pickles and cole slaw are very good. Their rye bread is mush, their tongue is rubbery and tasteless. Thie stuffed cabbage is not sweet and sout but inundated in jarred marinara sauce.
They serve salt soup, especially the mushroom barley.
My sister-in-law says the ham and swiss is excellent, definitely not Jewish.
BTW, this is not an old bias, had to take M-I-L there last week for Tongue sandwich, she didn't want to go Rye Ridge in Stamford, for equally bad salt soup, but better rye bread.
Today we went to Westchester and had much better deli at Epstein's.
Jewish Deli is an endangered species, killed by modern diets.
re: bagelman01
Not to worry, just a definitional thing. It serves corned beef, pastrami on rye, chicken soup, and other jewish deli meats I grew up with.
for me, a NY deli would be a case full of BH products and would not have an issue with mayo on pastrami.
re: bagelman01
Went to Katz's on Saturday. It was perfect weather for soup and splitting a sandwich, as you know they're HUGE. Then it ran through my mind...where did I read something about the soup being salty here? Hmmm. We ordered soup, anyway. Mushroom barley and matzo ball--both delicious and NOTHING close to "salt soup" whatsoever. Matzo balls were light and fluffy. The mushroom barley was hearty and delicious. A "cup" portion is really a bowl. I ate half and brought the rest home to have with my lunch the next day. LOVE their pickles and cole slaw--both of which are replenished should you want more.
While we're talking Jewish-ish deli, the only other spot I know of that serves pastrami that I'd travel for is in Wethersfield from Sonny at Main Street Creamery...and this is the last week to get a pastrami sandwich there before it closes for the season. More info here:
Boy, oh boy, oh boy...let me get there before the week is out. :)
re: kattyeyes
you were lucky.
Last week the MIL insisted on taking us to Katz's for lunch. The Mushroom Barley was sooooo salty that all 4 of us sent it back.
Tongue and corned beef were good, but the mushy rye bread leaves a lot to be desired. We do enjoy the pickles and cole slaw, but they were out of half sours.
Best thing about going to Katz's is running into a bunch of old friends. I spent my first 35 years inthe Westville section of New Haven.
re: bagelman01
And you are funny. How do you like half sours so much when they are far SALTIER than dills? ;P HA HA!
I hope my luck continues at Katz's. I don't get there often, but it's been worth the ride each and every time so far (knock wood). Better luck to you there, too.
P.S. to you, bagelman: Meriano's Bakery (Guilford) was selling sfogliatelle at a craft fair in M'town yesterday. Of course I had to try one. DEEEEELISH!
re: kattyeyes
dills are nt a staple of Jewish delis. either hal sours or full sours (which are far saltier than halves). I prefer a full sour with pickled meats such as tongue, corned beef or pastrami, while like half sours with turkey or roast beef or chopped liver.
My wife, MIL, and daughter only eat half sours, so there were more pickles for me.
There is a place for salt, you couldn't corn beef or pickle tongue without it, but in general, I find it is better added at the table than over added when cooking soup.
Also, we tend to get to Katz's late in the day, and if the soup has been in the bain Marie since 11am, the salt and aother flavors intensify as liquid boils off.
I pass Katz's at least twice each week, but only eat there about 4 times per year.
I'm jealous about the lobster tails you had in Guilford, but had some Friday from Luigi's here in Trumbull that were quite good. I recently saw an episode of Lidia's Italy in America featuring New England and she was at a great Italian bakery in Providence which was featuring sfogiatelle, kinda made me want to do a road trip.
But my wife made killer Tiramisu w/double Remy Martin last night, so I'm a happy man.
re: bagelman01
OK, so the less vibrant green pickles (the NOT half sours) at Katz's are the full sours? I just know I like those better. I always thought they were dills because they're more "pickled!"
Re the sfogliatelle, I am sure Providence serves 'em up in style. It's the right time for a road trip down that way, anyway (don't you have kiddos? hint: Roger Williams Park Zoo's Jack O'Lantern Spectacular...). Wow...that is quite the tiramisu! Impressive. Do the road trip, anyway. ;) Cheers!
re: kattyeyes
Yes, the duller green(and softer texture) pickles are the full sours. Half sours take about one week in the brine, leave them another 2 weeks and you have full sours. This was the traditional accompiament to smoked or pickled meat.
Dill pickles are very confusing to most non0-Jewish people because the major manufacturers of jarred/bagged pickles call them 'Kosher Dills' While they may be kosher (ingredients and supervision) they don't have that traditionbal Jewish Eastern European deli taste.
Wife and I need a getaway sans family. At this point only a 14 y.o left at home, but had=ve had our hands full with elderly mothers, The sandwich generatiuon is no fun, I need to suit down at a white tablecloth and be served.
re: bagelman01
Thanks for explaining re the pickles. And yes, I'm sure re the sandwich generation. Take good care of each other and may you find a nice getaway soon, white tablecloth included!
re: kattyeyes
My husband and I once had a huge silly marital spat about the nature of the bright vs dull green pickles. (Dull almost khaki green = full sour, brighter green are half sours). Turns out he has minor male green colorblindness and couldn't see the difference! There's a company in Western Mass called Real Pickles that makes fantastic small batch full sours (as well as kraut, kimchi and other delights). They don't use vinegar in their pickling process -- instead they use old-fashioned natural fermentation. For those of us getting older and finding our stomachs are not keen on acidic foods, Real Pickles products are not only completely digestible, they are also healthy (the natural fermentation process produces pro-biotic
) and DELICIOUS!
re: kattyeyes
Just to update--the folks at Main Street Creamery are wonderful, but I much, much, much prefer a pastrami sandwich from Katz's. Note, Wethersfield is a whole lot closer to home for me than Woodbridge, yet when the craving hits, I wanna head south.
re: mmalmad
I second the Westville Kosher market. Their stuff is excellent, including Rachel's cakes.
re: harrie
I concur with bagelman - Katz's is nothing close to resembling a Jewish deli. We've stopped going there....my wife was served absolutely rancid grilled chicken on a salad, the soups are almost universally oversalted, and in my opinion, the corned beef has gone way down hill.
All of this considered, given the lack of a lot of viable options, Katz's seems to continue to pack 'em in. Too bad there isn't a better option (I agree that Westville Kosher Market is significantly better....but $12.00 for a turkey sandwich borders on absurd (at least it is in New Haven CT!). http://westvillekosher.com/menu/menu_...
re: lsnhc
Yesterday i was forced to take MIL and wife to Katz's at MIL's request. Arrived at 11:45 and were seated promptly.
Wife ordered a turkey on rye with mayo and tomato and an order of kishke with gravy.
MIL ordered a side of whitefish with marble rye, and a potato knish.
I ordered a brisket sandwich on seeded rye.
The good news is: the pickles and cole slaw were very good.
Wife's turkey was all shreads heeped on the bread with one paper thin slice of tomato and a smear of mayo that was 1 inch by 3/4 of an inch. A complaint to the waitress brought only a small plastic container of mayo, but no offer to remake the the sandwich.
The kishke was three slices surrounding a soufle of gelatinous gravy. The
kishke tasted like pure pepper. When turning the slices over we could see that they were blacken/burnt on the flattop while being reheated.
MIL's whitefish wa sliced in 1" thick pieces that were just dumped on a plate and covered with onions and two slices of tomato with the marble rye on top. No eye appeal, but the fish was fresh and tasty.
The potato knish was dry.
Mt brisket sandwich looked pretty. The brisket was sliced extra thin, so as not to be chewy. It had no flavor, and was so dried out that I wonder what week it was made. Even the gravy could not save it.
On the way out, the cashier asked how everything was, and I replied terrible and cited the problems. Her response: How much do you want to add on for a tip.
Wife and I informed MIL, that we never will eat at Katz/s again, it is thrown out money.. Instead if driving 25 minutes to Katz's, I'll drive to Epstein's in Westchester.
Katz's has gone from bad to worse.
re: bagelman01
The other week I ate at Katz's for the first time, and my experience was quite different. The coleslaw and pickle chips were served even as I sat down. The coleslaw was crunchy and good, not too much dressing, the half and full sour pickles were good as well. I had a brisket/tongue combination, and it was moist and full of flavor; you could taste the spicing of the meat. The rye bread was good, too. I kind of wonder if you caught them on an off day, because my experience lived up to all the hype about them.
I also like the Westville Market. They have excellent food. The husband and wife who run it are good people, too.
re: DavidA06488
No, it wasn't an off day, just a typical bad day at Katz's where they think lack of competition allows serving bad, flavorless food, poorly presented with bad service. Just putting cole slaw and pickles on the table doesn't make up for the problems.
I worked in the Jewish bakery and deli business in New Haven years ago and know what the product should be and how it should be presented, Katz's doesn't care.
re: DavidA06488
Over the past few years, I've always enjoyed a good sandwich (and soup, pickles and coleslaw) at Katz's as well. Well worth the trip from M'town for me!
re: BiscuitBoy
I got a sandwich at Westville Kosher today - store made turkey on rye w/lettuce and mayo. It was $11, which is the highest price on the sandwich board. The sandwich weighed 10 ounces and tasted of real, roasted turkey. Plus you get a tiny container of cole slaw and a pickle slice. Pricey, yes; but for me (and I stress for *me*) totally worth it, especially since it's an occasional thing. Next time, brisket!
(I had a picture, but it didn't show up.)
re: Ima Foodie
Haven't been there in years, but Gold's was an institution in Westport when I worked upstairs in the offices in the Compo Shopping Center there. They had a true kosher deli. I know It has changed hands since, so can't comment on their current quality of offerings, but "in my day" they had excellent corned beef, tongue, pastrami, chicken salad, you name it. Heaping sandwiches, great sour and half-sours, and soup that wasn't dominated by the taste of salt. And the pastries they carried were my addiction. It's been 10 years, and I'm afraid to go back in case they won't live up to my memories.
As reported today by Lunch Break Chronicals, a new Jewish Style Deli is coming to downtown Stamford later this year on Prospect Avenue by the Courthouse. My Jury is out, but await Exhibit A: a cb on rye w a half sour.
Hopefully an major upgrade from Rye Ridge or Golds.
re: louuuuu
Well, that would be great but the courthouse brings back bad divorce memories.....Rye Ridge was great when I was growing up....
re: louuuuu
Only a block or two away from where I work. May have to skip bagged lunch one day and check it out. Looks a bit upscale for a deli.
re: jzzy55
Rein's is fine, but "Jewish style". Once you have dairy & meat in the same establishment, it is not really Jewish due to the dietary laws paraphrased "you don't serve the offspring with the mothers milk" in respect to the animal.
Their tongue is good & you can get good smoked fish this side of Russ & Daughters.
Also, they have a reasonable Bialy. "Fug-get" the bagels.
You can also try Pastrami King in Lake Success NY. THAT is a real Jewish deli in the sense that if you ask for cheese on your corned beef sandwich they look at you if as if you had just landed from Pluto.
re: awm922
Shuman's Deli in Bloomfield is quite good AND kosher.
re: JudgeMaven
I was not aware of Shuman's. I will have to check it out.
Thank You.
Being born in Brooklyn and raised in Baltimore, I thoroughly enjoy Jewish or Jewish style delis. Katz's was a real disappointment. Might as well eat in a Burger King. Went there when it opened and a time or two since then. Always hoped things would get better. They didn't.
I have to agree with the criticism of Katz's. Mushy rye bread is just wrong. Overall there is too much salt. I do love the cole slaw. And when it is really cold out I sometimes come in to treat myself to some matzoh ball soup.
They give you free pickles and cole slaw, as an appetizer. For me, this could be a meal in itself. And I wonder if they have upped the salt to keep it from being something you can really pig out on? Eyeballing the customers on any given day, and there seem to be a higher-than typical for the area number of obese people. The servings here are huge. If I get, say, a tongue sandwich, I take off half the meat and bring it home. My where else to get tongue on rye in the area? And that is a treat I enjoy about twice a year. Lately, however, I've been feeding my tongue jones off the taco trucks down by the harbor.
I can forgive many of the sins here, but the ghost of the Westville Bakery looms over they area, and they made the most WONDERFUL rye breads. I can still remember my shock and sorrow when they suddenly closed. I leaned up against the glass of the door and just pined.
Rein's, on the other hand, rocks. Gimme their rye bread, a chocolate egg cream and some half sour pickles and I am a happy gal.
Westville Kosher Deli is just down the street from Katz's - they're definitely Kosher (and they have tongue on the menu). I've been going there for years, and have had only excellent food. Sandwiches are a little pricey, but the quality is exceptional and the size quite large. Just sayin'.....

Give, give, give—what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away?
- Isabel Allende
Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24)
Funerals are never easy, but that's especially true when it's a young person who has passed away. While my son was in Iraq, a buddy of his was killed in a car accident. I knew Jimmy would have wanted to attend, so I decided it was important for me to go in his stead.
I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. The moment I caught sight of that grieving mother, her pain became mine. All I could think about was, What if I had to plan my son's funeral? Suddenly the danger of where he was and what could happen engulfed me. I refused to let myself leave in the middle of the service, but every second I stayed was a fight to keep the panic at bay. As soon as the service ended, I fled to the safety of my home and locked myself in my bedroom.
As I sobbed, I poured out my heart to God. I begged him to keep my son safe. I knew God loved Jimmy even more than I did–at least my head knew that–but my heart was unconvinced. I wrestled with the division between my heart and my head, trying to find peace.
As I lay there, the above verse in Mark came to my mind. I quoted it over and over, begging for God to calm my fears. The more I spoke it aloud, the more it began to invade my soul.
Finally, when the tears abated, I realized the truth of this verse. We are a people divided, conflicted even. And it's only with God's intervention that we can focus on the truth. God loves each of us more than any human can. He can be trusted with the lives of those who mean the most to each of us.
