Another favorite NY joke. A midwesterner is visiting NY, and was told by a Jewish friend that he had to try the matzoh ball soup at Katz’ Deli. He goes there and orders it, enjoying it thouroughly, and then says to the waiter: “These matzoh balls are delicious. Is any other part of the matzoh edible?”
we had to go through the Catskills to get from the southern tier to NYC and i thought of you, truthy, yes i did! i love your stories of your time there.
