Everyone's so fricking nostalgic about the 2nd Ave. Deli, but I thought it was a royal rip-off! That said, is there really a need for a bank at this location, when there's one right across 2nd Avenue? Oh well, landlords love banks. They can pay whatever rent demanded, they have great security, there's no messy kitchen, there are no noise complaints...

LOL. Wonder why these chefs don't want to tell us how much they really pay for the lobster. Maybe because people might feel cheated that a $40 lobster dish contains a $8/lb lobster? Or that the price of lobster "sky rocketed" to $9.50/lb so they end up having to charge $4 more? What a bunch of bologna.

Totally sweet! I thought the city was getting low on bank ATM locations, what with all the condos to spend money in...oh wait, I meant all the bank branches to spend money in...oh wait, I meant all the duane reedes and Max Brenner chocolate restaurants to spend money in!

Of all of the things to replace 2nd Ave. Deli, this is the most insulting. I honestly kept holding on to a thread of hope that it would return. Dunno ... a fast food joint might've been even worse.

Wonderful ... a famous and beloved restaurant is replaced by yet another bank branch. And aren't bank branches supposed to be getting less necessary due to ATM's and electronic banking?
