Zabar's is an iconic market on New York City, best known for its selection of appetizers, bagels, and smoked salmon, and not surprisingly, it has a rich Jewish history. Founded by Ukrainian Jewish immigrants Louis and Lillian Zabar, the almost 90-year-old store bears both the family name and remains family-owned to this day.
Louis Zabar was born in Ukraine in 1901. He fled the pogroms, where his father had been murdered, and arrived in the U.S. in the early 1920s. Lillian Teitlebaum escaped Ukraine and moved in with relatives in Philadelphia. She later relocated to New York City and ran into Louis Zabar, whom she had known from their village in Ukraine. The two married in 1927 and had three children: Saul, Stanley, and Eli.
In 1934, Zabar’s opened its first store on 80th and Broadway. By 1950, Louis was the owner of 10 markets when he passed away. From 1960 to 1994, Louis’s sons, Stanley and Saul, partnered and co-owned Zabar's with Murray Klein, who joined the store in 1953.
Today, Saul and Stanley remain involved in the store’s day-to-day business. Many of Louis and Lillian’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren are involved in different capacities. “Zabar’s was the place to come and see your mother and father, your grandparents, your cousins... the Zabar’s store is the center of the Zabar family,” Stanley said.

The ensuing price battle was dubbed the "Beluga caviar war" by the New York City media.[2] Macy's initially went after Zabar's by placing a 14-ounce box of Beluga caviar on sale for US$149.[1] Klein quickly, and happily, lowered Zabar's own price of the Beluga roe in order to undercut Macy's sales, which forced Macy's to lower its own cost to US$129, which was considered a bargain in the caviar market.[2] Not to be outdone, Klein again lowered the Beluga price to just US$119 for a 14oz box and sold the product at a loss rather than lose to Macy's.[2] He correctly anticipated that the ensuing positive publicity and public relations for Zabar's over the dispute would more than make up for the negative loss of selling the caviar for such a low price.[2] Thus Klein was able to beat Macy's in terms of sales and public relations.

Nora Ephron on the Upper West Side
“I had never planned to live on the Upper West Side, but after a few weeks I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else, and I began, in my manner, to make a religion out of my neighborhood. This was probably a consequence of my not having any other religion in my life, but never mind. I was a block from H & H Bagels and Zabar’s. I was half a block from a subway station. There was an all-night newsstand across the street. On the corner was La Caridad, the greatest Cuban-Chinese restaurant in the world, or so I told my friends, and I made a religion of it, too.” From "Moving On, a Love Story"

NJ WEEKENDER FALL EDITION 2022_DOMENICA. DOMENICA
È proprio da “Fall Editon” l’atmosfera che si respira a Nòva in questo pomeriggio autunnale, dove le prime foschie serali rendono argentea la luce che entra dalle grandi vetrate. A riscaldare i cuori però ci pensa lui, Jeff Parker con la sua chitarra e con un ritmo incalzante, ma non frettoloso che culla il foltissimo pubblico in attesa. La ripetizione non ci mette molto a trasformarsi in un fraseggio e il fraseggio si trasforma in un’onda di harmonium, un sottofondo sopra il quale Jeff arzigogola a suo piacimento e poi la “narrazione” si fa pacata come una conversazione tra vecchi amici. La chitarra di Parker sembra procedere per quadri narrativi, piccole scene di vita, quasi uno story-board con qualche asperità, persino qualche dissidio e successive riconciliazioni. E arriva anche il momento del rumore, quasi un sottofondo di traffico urbano, sopra il quale Jeff Parker può imbastire una trama sonora ironica e minimale che sembra, con la sua delicata indifferenza, annullare il rumore di sottofondo: pezzo davvero originale per composizione e ambientazione. Il pezzo seguente (strepitoso) é una destrutturata ninna nanna di rara intensità e di ineguagliabile raffinatezza. “Parterre du rois ” per questo “solo” di Jeff Parker, con jazzisti, giornalisti specializzati, un curioso Riccardo Bertoncelli e anche Maurizio Cattelan capitato, non si sa come, a Novara Jazz e che partecipa ,anche divertendosi, al successivo dj-set energetico di Nicola Conte. Quello che segue, invece, può entrare direttamente nella storia del festival novarese ed essere ricordato tra i più sbalorditivi concerti ascoltati a Novara. Appena comincia a suonare il “Kahlil ‘El Zabar Quartet”, l’incanto è immediato. Anche se citare sè stessi è una cosa da non fare, sembra proprio che “le onde del sound di Kahlil El’Zabar vengano direttamente dall’Africa per infrangersi sulle sponde del lago Michigan”, come scrissi in un recente articolo. Qui c’è praticamente tutto quello che un amante del jazz può desiderare, ma anche un amante del blues o dell’afro-music , insomma c’è tutto quello che un “amante”in senso lato può desiderare perché prima di tutto nella musica di Khalil ‘El Zabar c’è l’anima. Multi-percussionista, compositore, voce, ma anche educatore, “filosofo” e divulgatore della musica nera, Kahlil è certamente molto di più che un jazzista, ma allo stesso tempo incarna alla perfezione l’anima del jazz. Pezzi dai ritmi trascinanti, dominati dalla batteria e dalle percussioni di varia natura di Khalil e dalla tromba onirico-lirica di Corey Wilkes, dal tuonante sax di Alex Harding, che ha sostituito degnamente Isaiah Collier, e infine dalle tastiere suonate meravigliosamente, in modo tutt’altro che ortodosso, da Justin Dillard. È indubitabile che Kahlil sia più di un musicista e forse è il corpo stesso di Kahlil ad essere uno strumento vocale e musicale ed il pubblico di Nòva sembra ipnotizzato nel sentire il suo fiato diventare suono, le lunghe digressioni vocali che hanno il sapore dell’avanguardia cólta e della più raffinata ricerca e contemporaneamente sembrano aliti ancestrali. I numerosi bis eseguiti nel finale del concerto la dicono lunga sul gradimento del pubblico, ma soprattutto di quella voglia di jazz che questo straordinario quartetto porta in giro per il mondo. Finisce così tra il delirio del pubblico (e un soddisfattissimo Maurizio Cattelan), questa straordinaria due giorni di “Nj Weekender Fall Edition”, ennesima, rutilante invenzione regalata alla città da Corrado Beldì, Riccardo Cigolotti ed Enrico Bettinello.

I like to think of myself as Aziraphale, but a friend once got me to walk 10 extra blocks in a blizzard to get her the “best” rotisserie chicken. The merely “very good” rotisserie chicken (Zabar’s’ ffs) would have been on my way.
10 inches of snow on the ground, still snowing heavily, streets unplowed, most sidewalks not yet shoveled. She persuaded me via text.
Yeah, I’m Crowley.
