Ubusuku obuthathu ngaphambi kweKrisimesi kunye nendawo yokutyela kwindawo yokutyela yaseGreenwich Village, eGrange Hall, bekugcwele abantu abasela imartini bebhiyozela umjelo wokugqibela ukuya eholideyini. Izitokhwe ezingamashumi asixhenxe zixhonyiwe ebharini, nganye ibhalwe igama lomthengi oqhelekileyo. Kodwa imeko yayimuncu, ikakhulu ngenxa yokutyela uphawu lweRent exhomekeke ngaphambili.
Abantu bebengena babuza malunga nomqondiso, utshilo u-Del Pedro, ibartender ekudala ikho. Abakholelwa.
Ewe kunjalo, abaqhelekileyo bafumana ixesha elinzima lokuginya iindaba zokuba irestyu, ebekwe kwindawo egudileyo yeCommerce Street, izakuvalwa ekupheleni kukaFebruwari.
Kubuhlungu, utshilo uJennifer Lambert, 31, ixesha elide osandula ukufuduka esixekweni kodwa ebuyile kwiiholide. Wayehleli ebharini nomhlobo wakhe uCarla Silverman. Le ndawo ivakalelwa njengeNew York.
Uyazi ukuba useNew York xa ulapha, utshilo uNks. Silverman, 43.
Ukuphelelwa lixesha-ngathi kuye kwalapha ngonaphakade, utshilo uNkskz Lambert.
Kodwa yayiyiminyaka eli-12 kuphela eyadlulayo apho amaqabane oshishino uJacqui Smith noJay Savulich basungula iGrange Hall, indawo yokutyela ephawuleka ngeememorabilia zowe-1930, imartinis yeklasikhi nomculo wejazz ezenza ukuba kube ngathi kuphoselwa kwelinye ixesha.
UJay unalolu thando lwexesha loxinzelelo, utshilo uNkskz. Smith, 49, ehleli kwelinye lamadokodo eGrange Hall ngenjikalanga yamva nje. Kwaye bendifuna ukuvula ivenkile yokutyela eza kunika ukutya okuthuthuzelayo ekhaya. Kubonakala ngathi kufanelekile ngokwendalo: ukutya kwentliziyo kunye neminyaka yoxinzelelo. Kwaye babenerekhodi elungileyo yomkhondo: Esi sibini siqale iholo leCowgirl yoDumo kunye neeresityu zokutyela eGulf Coast kunye.
Ngexesha lokuphefumlelwa kwabo kutshanje, iBlue Mill Tavern kwiSitalato i-Commerce yayivalwa. Owayesisithethi sangaphambili, iBlue Mill yayiyi-hangout endala yobusoshiyali, ngokukaNkskz. Smith, bezobe rhoqo njengo-Eugene O'Neill no-Ethel noJulius Rosenberg.
Ukuhamba kwisithuba esishiywe yiBlue Mill, UNks.Smith kunye noMnu Savulich bashiye iindawo zokutyela ezimnyama zomdaka kunye nomgangatho weterrazzo uhleli. Bongeze i-1920's shades shades, ibar yaseBrunswick ngo-1941, imifanekiso kaFranklin Delano Roosevelt kunye noWinston Churchill, kunye neepowusta ezikhuthaza iNational Recovery Administration. Kudonga lwangasemva baxhoma u-Diego Rivera-isitayile esenziwe ngomzobo ngumzobi uDavid Joel.
Igama elithi Grange Hall lalixhamla ootatomkhulu noNkosk. Smith, amafama aseOhio kunye namalungu eGrange, umbutho wezolimo nezentlalo owasekwa emva kweMfazwe yamakhaya.
Ukusebenza nompheki uKevin Johnson, UNks uSmith wenza imenyu yokutya okuqhelekileyo kwaseMidwestern okunje nge-succotash, i-pancake yeetapile kunye ne-steak ebusiweyo.
Uluvo yayikukusezela iiresiphi zootatomkhulu nothabatha isinqumelo, utshilo uNkskz. Smith, onamehlo ashushu amdaka kunye nentloko yeenwele ezimdaka ngebala ezigcwele imagenta. Indawo yokutyela yayiphumelele ngokufanelekileyo ngokukhawuleza: ndandingummelwane wendawo, ngoko abantu babendazi, kwaye indawo idlale into. Kwaye besiphaka ukutya okuthuthuzelayo abantu abafuna ukukutya ekupheleni kosuku.
Kwaye nabantu abadumileyo bafuna ukuthuthuzelwa: U-Liv Tyler ubambe usuku lwakhe lokuzalwa olumnandi-16 kwivenkile yokutyela, ngelixa iNew York Post's Iphepha lesithandathu libhale ngemizuzu engama-30 kaBrad Pitt elinde itafile yebrunch (Walinda, utshilo uNkskz. Smith, kodwa wonke umntu ulindile UBill Clinton ungene kunyaka ophelileyo, kwaye kwiiveki ezimbalwa emva koko kwangena uMonica Lewinsky kwaye weva ukugcwala ukuba uBill wayedla kwindawo yakhe.
Umnumzana Pedro, obesebenze ibar kule minyaka isibhozo idlulileyo kwaye uthanda ii-psychedelic ties zika-1940, uyathanda ukubalisa amabali abaqhelekileyo, kubandakanya nelinye malunga nesibini esitshatileyo ebesiza iminyaka.
Wayengumdlali odlalayo, utshilo uMnu. Pedro. Andiqinisekanga ngento awayenzayo-wayephila ngaye, mhlawumbi. Baqhawula umtshato. Kodwa babenesivumelwano sokuthetha ngoqhawulo-mtshato ukuba uGrange Hall wayeyindawo yakhe. Wayenokuqhubeka eza, kodwa akazange avunyelwe.
Indawo yokutyela yathandeka kubumelwane ngokusingathwa kwengxowa-mali yezibane ze-antique ngoku ezikhanyayo kwisitrato seCommerce kunye nexwebhu, Umqokeleli weSitalato iBedford, eyonyulelwe u-Oscar kulo nyaka uphelileyo.
Kodwa njengendawo ezininzi zokutyela eNew York, iGrange Hall yahlala ixesha elide njengokuqeshisa kwayo. Ngendawo yokutyela ejongene nokunyuka kweendleko zokusebenza, amaqabane athathe isigqibo sokungasayini kwakhona, ngokukaNkskz.
Kubuhlungu ukukhwela kukaGrange, utshilo uKathy Donaldson, umongameli we-Neighborhood Block Association of Bedford, Barrow kunye ne-Commerce Street. Sineendawo ezininzi zokutyela apha, kodwa iGrange ibithandekile kubumelwane. Bangabantu abakhethekileyo ngokwenene-kufana nokuphulukana nomhlobo osenyongweni.
Njengoninzi loluntu, UNkosazana Donaldson unxanelwe ukubona ukuba yeyiphi indawo yokutyela eza kuthatha indawo yeGrange Hall. Wonke umnini-mhlaba ufuna ukurenta kwindawo enkulu yokutyela, utshilo. Sinexhala lokuba nabani na ongena, kuya kufuneka benze irente ephezulu kwaye abayi kuba nobuhlobo kubamelwane.
Isakhiwo esikwisitrato i-50 Commerce sesomnini wempahla nguReithith noRichard Kingman waseKingman Real Estate. UNkosk. Kingman uthe bambalwa abanini bevenkile yokutyela abathe bakhenketha indawo kwaye nayiphi na ishishini elingena kuyo kuya kufuneka lisayine isivumelwano soqeshiso ngengxolo kunye nezithintelo zeyure yokusebenza.
Indawo yokutyela ephumeleleyo yeyona ibonwabisa abamelwane, utshilo. Ndicinga ukuba sonke sinethemba lokuba olo hlobo lokutyela luya kungena.
Ngokubhekisele kwi-triumvirate ebisebenza e-Grange Hall, Mnu. Savulich uthatha umhlala phantsi, umpheki uJohnson uya phezulu, kunye noNks. Smith uceba ukuvula indawo yokutyela esezantsi ese-Harlem entwasahlobo.
Ngendlela ehlekisayo, iHolo yaseGrange ifumana ukuthunyelwa okumangalisayo: Ukwabelana ngesondo kwaye isiXeko siya kudubula isiqephu sokugqibela apho kwiveki yokuqala kaFebruwari.
Bacele ukuba senze itheko elincinci emva kokuba begqibile ukudubula. Baza kuthi mhlawumbi ibubusuku obunemvakalelo kubo, utshilo uNkskz. Ndicinga ukuba iyakuba bubusuku obuhlungu kubo bonke abantu.

Ivenkile yeeNgoma
U-Elina wadibana no-Igor kufutshane ne-ice cream ene-gefilte-yentlanzi.
Ndiqale ukusebenza apha, utshilo u-Elina Badalbayev, oneminyaka eli-18, encuma ngokuncomekayo nomfo waseUzbek ofudukele kwelinye ilizwe u-Igor Fattakhov, oneminyaka eli-19, ngela xesha bebemi kwindawo yokugcina i-ice-cream eMax naseMina eQueens kwiveki ephelileyo. Emva koko waqala ukusebenza apha. Kwaye emva koko, izinto ziyenzeka. Ngoku ndibambe i-ice-cream cone yakhe.
Kwilizwe lama-Orthodox lamaJuda empuma yeQueensborough Bridge, kukho abantu abangazange beva ngeSuede kunye neBungalow 8-kwaye ngekhe baye apho ukuba benzile. Kutheni kufanele bona, xa uMax noMina bishert -ixesha laseYiddish lothando olumiselwe kwangaphambili-mhlawumbi balinde wena, kunye neencasa ze-ice-cream ezifana ne-lox, i-herring, i-babka, i-ketchup, i-salmon kunye ne-horseradish?
Ingaphezulu kwe-ayisikhrim, utshilo u-Abe Beyda, isigqeba esineminyaka engama-41 sokuthengisa esivela kwindawo yaseBrooklyn e-Ocean Parkway, owayexhonywe ekhawuntareni ngo-1: 15 kusasa ngokuhlwa kwangoMgqibelo. Ingakumbi isimo se-ice-cream. Kule ndawo yoluntu, le ndawo yindawo entle kakhulu.
UBruce Becker, 35, oqale uMax noMina ngo-1997 kunye nomntakwabo, uMark, oneminyaka engama-30 ubudala, uzijonga njengomntu othengisa inyama ene-ice cream. Umahluko kukuba utywala buyadandathekisa; ice cream iphantse ibe yi-endorphin.
Kwaye wamkelekile kule ndlela yesitalato esikhulu ecaleni kweJewel Avenue, apho amadoda athanda ukunxiba iminqwazi emnyama kunye neeyarmulkes ezinithiweyo kwaye imihla ihlala icwangcisiwe.
Ukuba aba bantu baya kwi-bar yaseIreland, bayokuma ngaphandle, utshilo uMark Becker. Xa bedibana kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya okanye kwigumbi lokuphumla lehotele, kunzima. Indawo enje isusa umda.
UBruce noMark bakhule bebuyisa utatomkhulu wabo, uMax Sockloff, ikhemesti enediploma evela kwiYunivesithi yaseColumbia exhomekeke eludongeni lwevenkile, ecaleni kweWacky Pack cover, umfanekiso kaJerry Garcia, kunye neefoto zeToo Stooges kunye noJoe DiMaggio.
Waziphilisa ngentlama yamazinyo kunye nepeyinti, utshilo uBruce. Into awayeyithanda yayiyi-ice cream.
Emva kokubhubha kwendoda endala, uBruce wayecoca indlu yakhe kwaye kwenzeka kwincwadi yakhe yeeresiphi. Wayifaka kwibhokisi ekhuselekileyo.
Ndisebenza eWall Street kwaye ndacelwa ukuba ndithengise isitokhwe esibi. Ndiyabazi abantu abaye entolongweni ngenxa yezinto ezinje, utshilo uBruce. Akunjalo ndihlala njani. Kwafika ixesha lokuphuma.
Abazalwana bavula ivenkile yabo, yokuhlala abantu abali-19 kunye namandla angama-50, ngaphesheya kwesitalato ukusuka kwiZiko lamaJuda laseKew Garden Hills, nakwibhloko enye neShimon's Dairy Restaurant kunye neRamat Gan Fruit and Vegetables. Ngenxa yeeyure zabo zobusuku ngoMgqibelo, babenemakethi eyakhelweyo kunye neseti yasemva kweShabbos. Ekuqaleni, babelondolozeka kunye neencasa zabo, bezisa imixube emnandi enje ngepesika-sitrobheli, i-raspberry-apile kunye nemango caramel. Lithe lakunyuka ishishini, batyhila iayisi khrimu ephefumlelwe yimbotyi, irhasi kunye nesityu seetapile esithandwa ngamaJuda ngokubambelela kwisithintelo seBhayibhile sokungakhanyisi i-oveni-okanye nayiphi na enye intlantsi-ngeSabatha. Bathathe indawo yobisi kwimayonnaise umakhulu wabo, uMina, exutywe kwihorseradish yakhe. I-ice cream yabo ene-lox ene-lox yokwenyani. Kwaye ayisiyiyo lox, mhlawumbi, utshilo uBruce. Ezinye zeencasa zazo ezingaphezu kwama-500 zaba zizinto ezisisigxina; ezimbalwa, ezifana nepelepele kunye nejalapeno, ziyekisiwe ngaphambi kokuba ibhafu yokuqala ingenanto.
Ilizwi labazalwana be-ice-cream lasasazeka ngaphaya kweJewel Avenue; Ngo-2002, i-People Magazine yababeka abazalwana kuluhlu lwabo abakwii-Top Bachelors.
U-Counterman uDanny Asis, oneminyaka engama-20 ogcina isiginkci ngasemva, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ebabiza abathengi ababhinqileyo ngenguqulelo yeMetallica ethi Akukho Nto Inye-ukhumbule utyelelo lomyili wefashoni u-Isaac Mizrahi, okwenzeka ukuba abe ngumfundi we-Yeshiva wase-Flatbush.
Wayefuna ukuzama zonke iincasa, utshilo uMnu Asis. Wayebaleka engcamla izinto, ekhwaza, ‘Uch! Uch! ‘Emva koko wafika kwi-vinaigrette yebhalsam kunye nequnube wayitya nje.
Ixesha elingaphezulu, uMark Becker uqaphele intlalontle kwivenkile: amaqela amakhulu abasetyhini abancinci abaza kungenisa ukonwatyiswa emva kokuba kugqityiwe imihla yabo. Nje ukuba amantombazana aqale ukuza apha, abafana baya kufumanisa kwaye bajikeleze uhlobo lwabo, utshilo. Kwakungobusuku bamanenekazi.
Imidlalo yenziwe. U-Yisroel Orenbuch, oneminyaka engama-29 ubudala, owayengumvavanyi wesoftware, yayingoyena mntu bafazi babumelwane babonwa njengomhlobo weplatonic onokuthi aqeshwe njengomphathi wempimpptu.
Ngenye imini, ndangena kwigumbi lokuhlala ndaza ndabona umama kunye noYissy besilwa ngemali, utshilo uRachel (Froyo) Frohlich, utitshala onemfundo ekhethekileyo ene-28. Wayezama ukumbuyisela imali ngefanitshala ayifudukayo, kwaye akazange ayamkele. Umama ke wathi, 'Ukuba awundivumeli ndikuhlawule, sebenzisa imali uthathe uRachel kwenye indawo entle.'
Aba babini baqala ukuya kuMax naseMina rhoqo amaxesha amathathu ngeveki. Kwiinyanga ezisixhenxe kamva, uMnu Orenbuch wabuza abazalwana baka Becker ukuba benze indibaniselwano yeencasa ezimbini ezizithandayo zikaNks. Frohlich, i-mint Oreo kunye ne-mint chip. Xa esi sibini sangena kwivenkile, wazisa uNks. Frohlich ngebhafu yeFroyo's EngageMINT kunye nomsesane. Wazamkela zombini.
Umnqweno wokudityaniswa kwindalo iphela, utshilo uMatt Turk, imvumi edlala rhoqo eMax naseMina. Kodwa xa uxelelwa ukuba 'Ulapha ukudibanisa,' kukujika. Ngapha, izinto zinokwenzeka ngenene ngendlela ebekufanele ukuba zenzeke ngayo.
Ukudlala kwindawo yakhe ye-kosher Deadhead, uMnu.Turk repertoire ubandakanya ingoma eqanjwe kwinkampu yeembacu yasePalestine.
Ndicule eli xesha linye, kwaye umfazi uphume nje, uxelele isihlwele kwindawo ye-ice-cream ngobusuku obudlulileyo. Wonke umntu akakakulungeli. Kodwa nina bantu nivulekile, ndiza kuyizama.
Umnumzana u-Turk uthathe i-mandolin kwaye wacula ngesi-Arabhu, njengoko i-neon e-orenji kwivenkile yevenkile yenza ukukhanya okukhazimlayo.
Akukho mfuneko yokuba siye naphi na, utshilo uMnu. Turk emva kokuba eyigqibile ingoma. Konke kwenzeka apha.
