for the under 20 crowd the major eating place in the neighborhood was witkin's delicatessen on 180th st. between vyse and daly. it was noted for the bestest corned beef, pastrami, tongue sandwiches and other delights in the universe.
along this particular side of the street there was an appetizing store specializing in what you might call condiments, appetizera, pickles and candy; a meat market where you could select a live thing, have it killed, and dressed for your use; a very large fruit and vegetable market; and assorted shops
on the next street between daly and honeywell was a public library which eventually moved to honeywell between 179th and 180th..
two streets up on the corner of crotona parkway was the office of dr. ballot. for $2 you could get the best medical care. for $5 he would come to your house.
THIS IS WHY THE GREAT DEPRESSION WAS CALLED GREAT.
