Well, it's actually its third venue since they closed up shop downtown on 2nd Avenue, but the newly opened 2nd Avenue Deli on First Avenue at 74th Street is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Gaye and John Georges came into NYC from Smithtown to see their/our corgi, Grace, last Saturday and we had a terrific take-out lunch of sandwiches of hot corned beef, pastrami, or tongue; mushroom-barley or Yankee bean soup; a kasha knish; pickles; and new to me, stuffed derma. It was an orgy of fat, salt, and flavor. As we waited at the deli counter, they kept shoving tidbits of corned beef at us...I had had a normal-size sandwich portion by the time I left the restaurant! Grace was indulged, we gossiped and laughed; we ate the leftovers for at least three more meals.
