Fifteen months after Oscar’s closed, there’s a deli on Main Street.
Rye Ridge is open for business. The kosher-style deli fills a void in all of downtown.
Some of Oscar’s long-time staff are back behind the counter. Many of Oscar’s regulars are back in line.
Can you say “pastrami on rye”?
A waiter cleans up — and looks at Lee Papageorge, longtime Oscar’s owner (wearing the red apron at left). The mural was a fixture of the old deli, and has been restored by the Rye Ridge owners. (All photos/Lynn U. Miller)
