It is so good to discuss "Bagels" as opposed to the "Economic" problems.
I agree with the writer that there are other reservoir's providing water to NYC
outside of Ashokan which is actually in "Ulster" county. There are upstate
reservoir's in Ulster County, Sullivan County, etc. The point is they have excellent feeds, provide the water to NYC which make NYC's water one of the best in the USA. You can only make NYC hard rolls with NYC water.
I do miss the Italian food of NY.
