Is this where I admit I never read No Logo because it was typeset in Rotis, and I just couldn’t?
Just a bunch of middle-aged dudes, wondering where their copy of No Logo is.

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.
