How could you NOT order the meatball sandwich now? The curiosity would kill me, like when a waitress says to not touch a plate because it’s too hot. I searched Yelp for “worst meatball sandwich,” and this looks like the exact review that inspired the sign. A flip through the photos on Yelp shows that this isn’t the first witty sign posted outside Joe Dough in NYC, on First Ave. between Ninth and St. Mark’s.

Fooducate is a nifty, free mobile app that I just learned about. It enables you to scan bar codes on supermarket foods and get an instant read on its health value, by assigning a letter grade and points score, highlighting good/bad attributes, suggesting alternatives and allowing you to compare similar products. Several tests around the house worked well. Trader Joe’s Honey Nut O’s gets a solid B, but not the A- given to the unsweetened O’s with less sugar. Its organic ketchup is just a C but no alternatives top it. Dark chocolate bar a D, as health benefits outweighed by saturated fat.

In recent days, I’d noticed the sign at H&H Bagels was down, but I’d figured they were waiting for a new one. Nope. The iconic shop, whose aroma made walking by 80th and Broadway a pleasure, is shutting down Wednesday. Sounds like the owner was a tax-cheating scumbag. Among its many references in pop culture, H&H Bagels is where Seinfeld’s Kramer returned to work after his 12-year strike, only to go back on strike after not being allowed to take off for Festivus.
