Nobody wants those traditional giant sandwiches at Jewish delis anymore

How to Feed Friends and Influence People: The Carnegie Deli...A Giant Sandwich, a Little Deli, a Huge Success
How to Feed Friends and Influence People:
The Carnegie Deli…A Giant Sandwich, a Little Deli, a Huge Success

“I’ll have what she’s having.”

Everybody knows the classic deli line delivered by Billy Crystal’s real-life mom in the movie WHEN HARRY MET SALLY.

But it ends up that what everybody is having in the traditional Jewish deli may not be what you’re going to get anymore.  There is a referendum among deli owners to CUT DOWN ON THE SIZE OF THOSE GIANT SANDWICHES, and instead serve meals that are a little bit healthier and better for the customer.

Love Baseball but Hate Doing the Wave? Join the crowd…

The Wave Watcher's Companion: Ocean Waves, Stadium Waves, and All the Rest of Life's Undulations
The Wave Watcher’s Companion:
Ocean Waves, Stadium Waves, and All the Rest of Life’s Undulations

Web Watch has been told that we were the first to get a Wave started at Coors Field in Denver during a Colorado Rockies baseball game circa 1993 or 1994 or so.

We may not have the date correct, but the one fact we do know is true is that drunk college kids sitting in front of us are easily persuaded to do things that they might not normally do in public.

Like doing The Wave.

New York Apartments
New York Apartments

Today’s challenge? How long would you be able to live in an apartment that was just 11′ long and 7′ wide?

That’s about 78 square feet total.

Do you think you could survive living there overnight?  A week?  How about a month?

Luke Clark Tyler doesn’t see it as a challenge at all — he’s doing it, and paying $750/month for the privilege of LIVING IN A SHOEBOX-SIZED APARTMENT IN NEW YORK CITY.

America’s Best Ice Cream Cities

The Perfect Scoop
The Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas…

As you know, Web Watch likes to travel quite a bit – and when we do, we make it a point to not eat at chain restaurants whenever possible.

No, we purposefully go out of our way to find the best places in town, places where the locals eat.

At times, we’ve done fairly well for ourselves – along with earning the respect of our travelling companions who would never in a million years end up eating where we end up.

So of course we’re going to have to visit each of the locations that FOOD & WINE have called AMERICA’S BEST ICE CREAM CITIES:

Man sues Hotel over “free” Newspaper

USA Today
USA Today

Web Watch likes staying at hotels, especially nice ones.

The rooms are typically clean, comfortable.  Staff service is friendly and they go out of their way to make us feel welcome and safe when travelling in an unfamiliar city.

One recent hotel stay even had the front desk manager give us a complimentary bottle of wine when we checked in after the “complimentary wine hour” was over.  Granted, while it was drinkable wine, it wasn’t anything overly high-end.  Still, the thought was there and the wine was certainly enjoyed that evening.  We’ll definitely be back to that hotel again.

Now that the summer camp season is winding down and kids are heading back to school, Web Watch wanted to take a moment to share with you a story that would have freaked some parents out and led to unhappy summer vacations if we had shared it a month ago when this first crossed our browser.

It ends up that SUMMER CAMPS ARE GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR APPLYING SUNSCREEN TO CAMPERS.

And it’s all because some parents are extra-sensitive about who should be allowed to touch their children, even when done in a supervisory manner by workers in child-oriented jobs.
