FWIW, all of the dairy restaurants I miss are from Brighton Beach back in the 1970s and 1980s. Damn, I could either get a slice of pizza or a knish (baked) from multiple storefronts without effort back then.
  6:34pm
P-90:

Leshko's was my fave down there, since the 80's when I knew lots of 20-somethings who pioneered living down there when it was still rough but affordable. I was glad to see those places hold on so long, bummed that they're finally gone. In L.A., movie biz folk from Back East would frequently wax all nostaligic and homesick for those places, they were totems of a particular NY epoch.

  6:38pm
JakeGould:

@P-90: A good part of the reason those places are gone has little to do with gentrification and more with a cultural shift in NYC Jewish culture where suddenly knishes and Jewish “soul” were looked down upon within the culture. Even today some relatives I talk to who I mention a knish to get upset as if I am showing off my poor roots a bit too much. It’s a fairly deep reason those places aren’t around but few want to talk about it.

@Ike: Yeah, Brighton Beach still has great food. But honestly, it’s no longer the world I grew up in and I’m not into what it’s become. And yeah, one dirty secret about American cuisine is the second a cultural group can pull itself out of the true lower class, they tend to abandon things like food. I have relatives in my family who I know grew up eating knishes but now talk about falafel and pita bread as if that his what they grew up on. Fairly sick social issue of status if you ask me.

JakeG: Interesting perspective, but I recall those places as having more of a generically "Slavic" identity, rather than "Jewish Old Country" per se. I actually knew some kids from Russian/Polish/etc. Catholic backgrounds who thought of those places as "roots" cuisine for them too. Mostly it was cheap, substantial food for students and young musician/artist types. And open late.
