re: #15 The Pie Overlord!

It is the only kosher Chinese takeout in town. Not normally this busy, but it is the Traditional Night Of The Chinese Food.

Yeah, that explains it….

Bittersweet memories, though: til my wife got too sick to make it happen, we used to get all of her (formerly-large) family to come visit us in the City for “Jewish Christmas”: featuring, of course, an extensive offering of Kosher Chinese food; and (my contribution) a variety of quality single-malt Scotches. Doing our best to dispel ethnic stereotypes (in our case, the “Jews don’t drink” canard….)
