Review - Thank You for the Matzoh Ball Soup

By: Updated

The marquees of Broadway will once again dim tonight; not to honor a great actor or playwright or director but to commemorate the passing of Harry Edelstein, owner of the theatre district's legendary Café Edison.

Mr. Edelstein passed away on Monday at the age of 91.

I never met the man, but I'm sure I'm not the only one in this town who would like to thank him for providing a cozy and affordable spot for many wonderful pre-show meals. And no meal was complete without at least a cup of his matzoh ball soup; undeniably the best in the city with its firm tasty matzoh balls surrounded by a hearty chicken broth.

I'm lifting an imaginary spoon in Harry Edelstein's honor. It's won't be long before I'm back in his café, lifting a real one.
