According to the Ratner's Meatless Cookbook, the restaurant's first location was on Pitt Street. In 1918, it moved to 138 Delancey Street, which was its final, and only location. By the way, Ratner's was not a deli; it was a dairy restaurant. Delis serve meat, which Ratner's did not.BaHanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-36209851682840227342008-04-02T07:37:00.000-04:002008-04-02T07:37:00.000-04:00there was also a ratner's deli on 2nd ave, in the met food space. the "R" is still in the floor when you walk in--check it out.Jeremiah Mosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-23507776942365780502008-04-02T01:19:00.000-04:002008-04-02T01:19:00.000-04:00In the old Ratner's space?
