In the wake of the death of "Anthora" creator Leslie Buck, one NY1 reporter set out to find the classic cup—and the results were dismal. Stopping at deli after diner in Brooklyn, he thought he spotted a few, but they turned out to be knock-offs ("It's Our Pleasure to Serve You"—total BS). He finally found the holy grail at Golden Bell Deli on Avenue X, whose owner said, "Everybody like this at my store, a lot of people." Local Rob Fewer said of the cups, “It's one of those things in the five boroughs, ‘oh, they've got the cup.’ It's absolutely true." Anyone else know where to get them?
