There’s going to be a new deli or coffee shop on Broadway between 97th and 98th. I’ll report on what’s going on as the new subway station at 96th remakes some of the adjacent blocks.

Upper West Side: Edgar’s Cafe Opens Up a Second Location on Amsterdam
Neighborhood stalwart Edgar’s Cafe has opened a second location between 91st and 92nd streets on Amsterdam Ave.
The original locale on W. 84th Street was named after writer Edgar Allen Poe, who once resided at that address. The new Edgar’s has none of the funky atmosphere of the original; it looks like any other NY sandwich-coffee shop. But the new Edgar’s, like the original, boasts an impressive line-up of coffee drinks. And, there are more than two dozen salads to choose from, including a Mediterranean Bean Salad and a Beef Carpaccio Salad. In a nod to the immediate neighborhood’s large population of observant Jews, items, like Apple Brown Betty, are labeled “kosher.”
Edgar’s doesn’t accept credit cards.
