Milton Parker, owner of the famed Carnegie Deli passed away this past week at age 90.
The deli, considered by many to be the best in the world, is located in mid Manhattan. Walking into that deli with Lasorda leading the way it was though he had Charlton Heston powers navigating the crowded isles. There are two New York addresses that one can take pride in having their photographs on display at some point...one is 25 Main Street, Cooperstown, the other being 854 Seventh Ave. at 55th Street...both iconic locations in their own right.
Whether it be photos on display for a Fernandomania exhibit or 8x10 Dodger glossies hung amongst the likes of an autographed Henny Youngman or Mayor Rudy...I've accomplished both and it's a kick.

I met Milton Parker in 1987 @the Carnegie Deli.My friend and I had entered the "Why I want to win a date with David Letterman Contest" which took place there, sponsored by none other than Howard (How-weird) Stern. Thank God neither of us won.
