This question makes no sense whatsoever. If I choose the recipient, then she's no longer anonymous. Jeez, people.

Did someone misplace a yarmulke with the Israeli flag on it?

It's not often you hear such a question at an author reading, but, after all, the reading was for the book, Save the Deli, and it was held at Manny's Deli. The author's reading and Q&A was quite good.

Unfortunately, the author has hooked up with this really annoying guy who calls himself "Jelvis: the Jewish Elvis". If there's anything worse than a bad, middle-aged Elvis impersonator, it's a bad, middle-aged guy doing unfunny Jewish parodies of Elvis. He was wearing a white spandex jumpsuit with large gold sequin Stars of David on it. Oy.

Now, I'd figured I'd probably have some dinner there, but I did not anticipate free food. Corned beef and pastrami and rye bread and matzo ball soup and latkes and rugelach! Now, the Jewish deli in general may need help, but Manny's doesn't have to worry. It's going strong.

Everybody eats at Manny's!

(That's Mayor Daley and some other guy.)

And in the clearest sign ever that the neighborhood is gentrifying, Manny's now has valet parking!
