    Why isn't there a Manhattan Street in Houston that is pronounced stupidly?

      To be fair, Texas ought to be spelling it Hewston.

      About the same, but you'll want extra mustard to hide the smell.

      Not sure, but that water must have gotten seriously salty after it hit that basement.

    Just adding to the third-world-war-zone that has been E Houston for the past 3 years.

      This is the most ridiculous exaggeration I have read in a long time. And I read gawker every day so that's saying something.

      You are right. 9th Ave between 42nd and 52nd is a third-world-war-zone. E Houston is more like a post-apocalyptic-hipster-zombie-refugee-zone.

    Good to see that Katz's retains its charming dump like qualities after all these years.

      It really is, especially considering how much the surrounding area has gentrified in just the last few years.

      Per Wikipedia: Gawker is a blog founded by Nick Denton and Elizabeth Spiers and based in New York City that bills itself as "the source for daily Manhattan media news and gossip".

      Do you get upset when they keep talking about all that business-y shit in the Wall Street Journal too?

    If past water incidents are any indication, this means the F train will resume service in 2045.

      So, if I say I like Katz's and I'm not a resident of New York, am I basically Michael Scott going to Sbarro for a New York slice?

      I need some validation here for my non-urban insider self, because I have gratitude to that place for assuaging a truly massive headache triggered by visiting an art gallery near there for work. After coming out whimpering from the stabbing pain that only an overwhelming smell of cat urine in a small venue can cause, the pastrami nearly as large as my head and the beer on the train home were manna from heaven.

        Katz's is a great somewhat corny "kosher-style" deli in New York. Overpriced but worth it occasionally. I would go if I were you and visiting New York. I haven't been since a birthday party there 8 years ago where I had a nice tongue sandwich on rye and chicken liver on the side. (You only live once and the way I'm eating it won't be long so I might as well enjoy myself.) However, I discovered they only serve stuffed cabbage on special occasions.

        God that sounds good. My wife is of Ukrainian descent, so there is no dearth of stuffed cabbage by way of her family.

        I suspect that you have sex with your younger brother friend, but I'm shocked you can make $8500 doing it for 10 hours.

      Let me just say that Katz' is crap. The latkes are too dense, the blintzes are greasy, and the rye is often a bit stale.

      If only this had happened on the next major cross-town street down — a real Canal Street once again.
