the poor man's zabar's
Wednesday, October 26, 2005
when we lived on the upper east side, we would sometimes make the trek accross the park to get our zabar's fix, but usually it was outside our budget. this place is the next best thing. they have the cheapest produce in manhattan (somehow a well-kept secret), which helps offset the prices of their delicious prepared foods. be very careful when reading the deli counter prices, however - they aren't always in pounds. for instance, the lobster salad is advertized by 1/8th of a pound! seems cheap to see $9.99 as the unit price, but do out the math - it's crazy! still, an awesome place.
