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?

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."

People do not need to eat, they need coffee & froyo. maybe no one cooks?
ReplyDeletecomment #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?
ReplyDeleteLaura R: It's been long established that no one in New York cooks, except the restaurant chefs and servants.
ReplyDeleteAck! Always liked the metal facade on that place. Thankfully I've taken a few pictures over the years.
ReplyDeleteEPIC 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.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.
