What You See is What You Eat.

Everyone thinks I’m saying Kohl’s when I say Cole’s.  Why?  Probably because Cole’s downtown (allegedly, the “originator” of the French Dip sandwich, but the whole which-one-came-first-the Cole’s-or-the-Philippe’s argument is, as my ex-roommate’s softball coach would say, like shooting dead ducks in a pond) hasn’t been open in forever.  Come late this month, it’s re-opening and come December 6, it’s having an official launch party.  100 cent (because this sounds better than “one dollar”, like “four score and seven years ago” sounds better than “87 years ago”) (hat tip to one of Steve Martin’s old Shouts & Murmurs columns in the New Yorker, of which I can’t find anywhere online, otherwise I would link to it.  I remember the beginning of it — “Get their attention – make them add.”  This is why I like Steve Martin, even after SNL.)  sandwiches and sides from noon till 4. 

Probably will be a huge line like the one at Philippe’s 100th anniversary celebration.  Good luck.
