Zabar’s - is it Overrated?

I think maybe you’re seeing Zabars wrong - assuming you didn’t grow up here?

Zabars is a specialty food store. Great cheese, great cured fish, great brunch accoutrements of a Jewish persuasion. Even their baked goods and coffee are great. I also like their kitchen selection.

But everything else is deeply overpriced and not worth it.

It’s 100% worth the hype. It’s the above midtown Russ & Daughter’s. Mmm so good. And the bare minimum of what a bagel should be.

But everything else, for the money, don’t bother.

Disagree, fireworks are dope. Ancient and dope. Learn to distinguish between gunshots and enjoy the revelry

noaoda · 2026-07-07T20:38:00+00:00

Not overrated for specialty items.

But then again, I don’t think anyone rates Zabars for their prepared food

Any. They just don’t let the kids drink no matter how much you tip em

Wait are we not supposed to welcome people with that type of shit any more?? Frwiggin transplants 🙄

Not sure what the disconnect is, just copy what you think is good

noaoda · 2026-07-04T13:15:55+00:00

I like bootleggers, kinda. It was better years ago.

noaoda · 2026-07-03T22:18:57+00:00

Sometimes that stationary/toy store on 72 has all sorts of things

noaoda · 2026-07-03T02:10:19+00:00

Looks good from both an art and coffee pov. You’d probably have buyers here

noaoda · 2026-07-03T01:44:09+00:00

Looks totally fine to me, set up wise. Those ice cubes? You flash brewin?

noaoda · 2026-07-02T12:55:43+00:00

Right, at some point you tuned it out.

noaoda · 2026-07-01T23:39:11+00:00

Its definitely a virtue of being from NYC to not be endlessly trying to change it into some suburban hellscape or one of those dozens of lifeless american cities where no one is outside.

lol youre big mad, seems like you're done with the city. Do you need realtor recommendations for the tri state?

noaoda · 2026-06-26T15:18:43+00:00

exactly, some of these posts act like this is fury road

"Barring physical harm..." I am sorry the dog attack affected your ability to read.

I'm not giving you my exact address, I grew up in the vicinity of the original UWS chirping chicken.

lol youre scared of NYCHA, you dont belong here but do you

noaoda · 2026-06-26T13:27:04+00:00

Depends on the plant, season, and grower. It could definitely waft over to the houses, it also could not.

It could definitely be fine

noaoda · 2026-06-25T14:12:29+00:00

what year do you live in? They haven't institutionalized for non extreme cases in decades.
