Kosher delis don't serve Reubens.:) Though you can get it with the sauerkraut, they wouldn't put on the cheese. But you wouldn't even miss it with a real one from say The Carnegie Deli or The Second Avenue Deli. Or even the deli in Queens where we always used to eat, Ben's Best. Now you have me craving deli:)Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-46859429385159665102012-06-10T16:04:48.363-07:002012-06-10T16:04:48.363-07:00I ever do make it to New York, you gotta take me t...I ever do make it to New York, you gotta take me to one of the real New York delis!

I guess mine was the years I spent as a teacher correcting papers.:) I think a lot of us come to fiction writing later in life, because you need to have confidence in your own writing and somehow I think that only comes with experience.<br /><br />Rosemary: Wish I could say that was mine. My favorite color is red, but green is its complement. So they are related.:) Thank you for visiting.<br /><br />JQ: I imagine if you did live in New York the shine would eventually wear off. I have never lived in Manhattan, but I've lived so close to it for so much of my life that I really don't know how someone who has never been here would feel. I love all that NY has to offer, but there are so many other parts that are not so great about living here. There is an energy and an excitement, especially in the theater district and midtown. Parts of the city simply are bursting with people. Have you ever gone down to Chinatown? It's crazy down there!<br /><br />Marian: Thank you for visiting.I hope Anne will be able to see all the people who came over here! <br /><br />Lorrie: Thank you for visiting and commenting. I am interested in seeing how this story goes. <br /><br />Marie: It does look like a good story. Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Christy: I would have to say that the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas is the best time to come to NY. Everything is lit up and the shop windows are all decorated. We try never to miss going to Manhattan at that time. Thank you for visiting.<br /><br />Cheryl: Thank you and thank you for visiting. I think green is one of the most popular colors.Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-65823128791215332092012-06-10T11:19:01.060-07:002012-06-10T11:19:01.060-07:00Nice interview!

Don't think I'd transplant well permanently. Those "y'alls" and "darlin's' would get me in trouble. My favorite color's red, Anne, so I doubt eye color's real influential in making a color our favorite. My eyes are only red when I'm possessed. Which folks tell me happens now and again when I get real riled up.Gail Roughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614223212736801906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-75478966297250658972012-06-10T09:18:09.590-07:002012-06-10T09:18:09.590-07:00Anne,

We loved going out to dinner and the musicals. Went last summer to RWA and managed to take my daughter to How to Succeed in Business and The Lion King. Favorite thing was tea at the Plaza.<br /><br />I'm sure Ebenezer's Locker will be a hit for summer time reading.<br /><br />Best of luck!

You already have the grammar, spelling, etc., so you're free to let your imagination run wild and be confident your writing is already solid.<br /><br />I'm only saying that because I spent a zillion years tech writing. That's my excuse for starting fiction late in life, and I'm sticking to it.<br /><br />See you on my blog in a couple of days!Cellophane Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166797508899835493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-19146245807821375152012-06-09T14:43:12.652-07:002012-06-09T14:43:12.652-07:00Looks like a really interesting story.
