Condolences Ann. It was once a single storefront but became much bigger.

A man with gray hair and glasses is slicing a piece of salmon on a marble counter. He wears a white apron over a gray sweater. A digital sign above him reads "NOW SERVING 94." A red and white bag is on a stool nearby. In the foreground, a piece of salmon and a knife rest on a newspaper with the headline "BREAKING NEWS" and a photo of the same man.

the smoked fish counter at zabars was a whole personality type growing up. 94 years of feeding this city properly is a real legacy.
