Gotham Food

Reader Mitch writes in: "News is that the Gotham Deli -- Columbus Ave between 72nd & 73rd Street (East Side of Street) -- will be closing due to a rent hike. The Starbucks located next door will be expanding into the deli's space."



Gotham is just a little deli, a place for sandwiches, but it's been there a long time and people in the neighborhood like the place. Do we really need more of Starbucks?

People do not need to eat, they need coffee & froyo. maybe no one cooks?

comment #2: NY no longer keeps it real. its just one big fake touristy college town. the rich send the maids to shop somewhere, the maid cooks. the young professionals & the rich have resevations, or they have it delivered. the poor immigrants have their own markets, in their neigborhoods. am i on the something here?

Laura R: It's been long established that no one in New York cooks, except the restaurant chefs and servants.

Ack! Always liked the metal facade on that place. Thankfully I've taken a few pictures over the years.

EPIC BULLSHIT.

I am heartbroken that Gotham is closing after so many years. It was a fixture on Columbus Ave. Nice people worked there and they always remembered how you liked your sandwich or your morning order of coffee and egg on a roll.
And the metal facade with those circa 1930s or 1940s double doors was always nice to walk through.
Another little piece of NYC gone into the ether.
