Schmaltz on full display in new-look exterior at Sammy's Roumanian Steakhouse


[Photo from 2010 by James and Karla Murray]

There's a new look outside down at the Chrystie Street mainstay... EVG reader Mike House shared these photos... first, of the usual entrance (which transformed back in the spring)...



A new addition is on the kitchen side of the operation just to the south ... the windows had previously been covered ... now there are giants pitchers of schmaltz, not quite to scale of the ones found on the tables inside...



I'm not sure if the work is complete out front. Perhaps more Sammy's signage will return. (The interior remains the same.)

This northwest corner of Chrystie and Delancey was under cover of a sidewalk bridge and scaffolding for some six years, finally coming down at the start of 2016.

    How much does it cost to rent / lease a sidewalk bridge? For six years???

    Damn. Looks bland as hell. The old look was dope.

    I don't get understand what I'm looking at... the original was downstairs and set back from the residential staircase... and now the storefront is somehow flush with the sidewalk and the face of the building yet is even with the end of the stairs? How?
