I attended college in NYC from 1999-2003. There was a deli around the corner from campus on 8th Ave between 26th and 27th owned by a sweet family that was always so kind to the F.I.T. community. The son and I realized we had a shared love of Smashing Pumpkins and would often talk about music. I would go there several times a week for lunch and would always order the same thing. When I’d walk through the door, he’d shout out to me, “The usual with a side of Jellybelly, coming right up!” Shortly after 9/11, the deli burned down and we never saw the family again, as they chose not to rebuild. I often think of the deli whenever I hear Jellybelly and wonder how the family is doing, now.
