Discoveries of note today: the perfect time for breakfast at the Carnegie Deli? 9 am on Saturday.
Why? Because not only is there no line outside but there’s hardly anyone inside. My friend and I were gobsmacked. Pleased not to have to wait in the line o’ myth and legend, mind you. It is, after all, […]
