I thought this venerable institution might have been a thing of mere 
memory. But Google turned up:

For folks who aren't familiar with Manhattan, that street name is 
pronounced "house-ton", not "hugh-ston" as in Texas, and not 
"who-ston" as i've heard on the BBC.

I'm sure it's not what it used to be, but then, when i was going 
there in the late 1960s, it already wasn't what it had been...

I feel pretty confident that they no longer make yogurt every night 
in little juice glasses lined up on a tray, then covered with a clean 
white linen towel: the lactobacilli were probably "in the house".

It was pretty funky back then. The floor sure had the wear of the 
years on it. Now you can order your knishes on-line
