One of the things I miss about living on the Upper West Side is shopping at Zabars, where I could get some of the most amazing olives, cheese, coffee, and of course some of the most amazing smoked fish.
While not explicitly kosher, Zabars is a Jewish institution in New York.
Haven’t said anything here, but the last 12 days have been (and continue to be) really fucking (medically) traumatic… my SiL knows how to send a great and comforting get-well gift. #Zabars
