Tue Jul 24 14:52:24 -0700 2001 0 car 1 1254264 Yes, in fact it was a diner by the name of Andre's. I believe Andre's must be closed for at least 10 years of so. Tue Jul 24 21:50:58 -0700 2001 1254258 0 Bob Rabinoff 2 1254269 the diner was built by kullman in 1961, the exterior still has the diner look, i've never been inside, with it's proximity to andre's hungarian could there be a connection ?

Knish Nosh now occupies the premises having made the journey across 67th Ave. I am not sure if Andre's had a connection to the diner but always assumed that there was some kind of common thread there.

The corner store was the kosher meat store (Lazar's) which reduced itself to a single storefront, giving up the corner to Knish Nosh. Andre's is the tiny, 1/2-sized store on the other side of the meat market and is still there (awesome strudel, hard to pick betw. cherry or cheese, get BOTH!! - and, in the am, when the cheese puffs are really fresh, they are great - similar, not-to-sweet cheese filling to the strudel). They used to have a cafe on that block before 71st Ave/Continental near the mediocre latino, diner, and tex-mex places are...don't know if they still do, though... And, personally, I live about 3 blocks from Knish Nosh and I go to Mrs. Stahl's in Brooklyn (Brighton Beach at the end of Coney Isl. Ave under the el station) for my knishes - worth the traffic on the Belt...and then you can go up COney Isl. Ave for bialys [betw. Aves. U and T]...and then...well, you get the idea...these are the BEST knishes, way better than KN's IMHO... Mon Jul 30 11:43:29 -0700 2001 1254302 0 Jill-O
