The posters have made me grow very nostalgic for the old “shmulke bernstein”. By the way- not all chareidim ate there as his hechsher was from the O-u (or was it Kof-k?). he had marvelous cold cuts and fantastic chinese food…there were lines on motzei shabbos thill 2 and 3 in the morning…Yup- chaval al de’avdim….and the waiters with their funny chinese hats….they sold out to a chinese group that ran it into the ground…and, to be honest, the lower east side changed dramatically these past years…even orchard sreet is not what it used to be….oh…well….
