On the second day of my New York trip, I headed back into Manhattan. I passed by my alma mater, Baruch College, where I got my creative writing degree in 2003.

Prior to heading back to Carmine Street Comics, my first thoughts were lunch so I headed to an old haunt of mine.
Sarge’s Deli of Murray Hill, New York City, NY
Sarge’s Deli (548 3rd Avenue, New York, NY 10016) is a Jewish deli that is open 24 hours and seven days a week with big portions of food. You can’t go wrong with the matzoh ball soup, large slices of cheesecake or any of the sandwiches!
From there, I headed downtown to Carmine Street to Carmine Street Comics.

Jon Gorga showed up some time after I arrived there and we chewed the rag for awhile.

Various customers came into the shop that day. Jon did chat with them as they purchased comics. I also mentioned my own comics, which are for sale there.
Sunnyville Stories and Von Herling for sale at Carmine Street Comics
Jon and I talked a lot. The end result gave me food for thought when I said goodbye and left. What we talked about is a whole other blog post.
