Man, do I long for some tongue.

The recent closing of Manhattan's Second Avenue Deli has put a real crimp in my kosher (not Jewish :p ) deli eating lately.

The closest one I know of now is on Signor Vitelli's Brooklyn turf - Adelman's on Kings Highway and Ocean Avenue.

I guess I should check out one of these Jersey places, but there's something about the words "Jersey" and "Kosher Deli" which just don't sound right together. Besides, you know what they say:

You can take the boy out of Brooklyn, but you can't take the Brooklyn kosher deli out of the boy.
