1 week agoThis Upper West Side train station may soon be renamed after New Yorker Saul Zabar
Saul Zabar's legacy is honored with a proposal to rename the West 79th Street subway station in his memory.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) recently unveiled a tribute to the late Saul Zabar-owner of the iconic Zabar's and widely regarded as the smoked fish king of the Upper West Side-along the platforms of the 79th Street 1 station, just a block away from the renowned deli, in the form of vinyl posters. The posters feature Zabar, who passed away last week at the age of 97, wearing his signature white Zabar's coat.
