It will be called Harry & Ida’s Luncheonette, and “It will be more old-school delicatessen [than Harry & Ida’s in the East Village], but at the same time have a much stronger emphasis on sustainability, healthier food, and financial accessibility,” said Will Horowitz. They’re hoping to open by mid-June.

I live in North Battery Park City, and outside of NYC, I tell people I live “on the edge of Tribeca”.
