LOLOL!!! My siblings out in Calif. used to clamor for bialys from H&H, pastrami from 2nd Ave., Sabrett's onions, and those stupid Greys Papaya hot dogs! PLUS a Juniors cheesecake. Back in the good old 2000's when you could shlep all kinds of 75 lb. luggage. Always I got the comment "like that's a crazy looking bagel" LOL!
Coney Island.....You haven't grown up right as a NYC kid if you didn't cut school to ride out to Coney, pooled your money with your fellow miscreants for a slice and one coke for everybody and one bumper car ride. Good times!
Sad to say I haven't had a bialy since I left NY in the 80s. They simply don't exist in south Jersey :-(
Ah.....a toasted bialy with a schmeerrrrrrr......
One of the home shopping channels sells Junior's cakes - QVC or HSN, forget which. Yum.
