"No human jaw can stretch wide enough to eat this pile of corned beef between slices of bread like a normal sandwich. We watched it sliced, and it was still good and warm when we slathered on the mustard and started eating with knife, fork, and fingers."

"Matzoh Ball Soup: a wonderful way to begin a meal, especially on a cool day."
Michael Stern
"This is an oh-so-sweet pastry known as an 'apple slice.' It was good but, frankly, we were a little jealous of tablemate Bill Daley, who got vanilla pudding and declared it 'the real thing!'"
Michael Stern
"Manny's sells blintzes by the piece. One or two make a side dish for meat; three or four, with sour cream and apple sauce, are a dandy meal."
Michael Stern
"For $9.95 you get a massive corned beef sandwich with a single potato pancake on the side and, of course, a couple of dill pickle spears."
Michael Stern
"Beyond its delicious flavor, the joy of a corned beef sandwich at Manny's has a lot to do with Gino, the man who slices the beef and piles it into bread with the sleight-of-hand of a master magician and the wise cracks of a stand-up comedian."
Michael Stern
"When Manny's opened near Maxwell Street just after World War II, it took over a space that had been a restaurant called Sunny's. To save money on the sign, proprietor Jack Raskin simply replaced the SU with MA ... and Manny's was born."
