"I wish we had bialys," the man behind the counter said last time we called. "Personally, I prefer them, but honestly, you’re the first person in months to ask for one. Try one of our bagels. They’re great—I bake them fresh every day." We tried one and our preference for bialys was history. The fish platters (Nova, lox, sturgeon, sable, whitefish, or a combo, each option coming on a bed of elaborately arranged lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and lemons) take you back to a time when the word "platter" really meant something in New York. In fact, that time lives on in Wolf's "Old World Treats and Dairy Dishes" menu: kasha varniskes, potato pirogi, assorted sliced fruits with cottage cheese, and the real-deal deli sandwiches.

I was in New York the weekend of February 12-14, just for the opening of the Christo "gates" at Central Park, and decided to have lunch with my family at the critics picked Wolfe's delicatessen. Imagine my dispointment when we found it CLOSED! Will they ever open again? Are they remodeling or something? There was no sign at the door and brown paper covered the windows. Anybody know what is going on?
