Christmas Eve on the Upper West Side
An older gent rolls up to Absolut Bagels on 107th and Broadway, stroller in tow. From the street, he opens the front door, and asks me as I’m leaving if I can find out if the bagel shoppe will be closed tomorrow.
JROSENTHAL: Hey, they said that they’ll be open.
STRANGERMAN: Of course they will. What am I thinking? It’s the Upper West Side.
JROSENTHAL: Yea, even the non-Jews are Jews.
(This includes, of course, the owners and employees of Absolut Bagels - who are all Chinese.)
