"For decades, Saul Zabar, with his exacting standards, culinary acumen, and fierce loyalty to those who worked for him, was the heart and soul of his family-run delicatessen on West 80th Street and Broadway."
"The MTA bid farewell to the MetroCard by partnering with NYC culinary institutions to release edible tributes to the physical card all around town. Zabar's released thousands of MetroCard cookies to mark the occasion."
"Renaming a station involves geography-related considerations and largely depends on 'the new name better [describing] the location of the station for riders.'"
Saul Zabar, the iconic owner of Zabar's, is being honored posthumously with a proposal to rename the West 79th Street subway station as 79th Street - Saul Zabar Station. Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal introduced the bill, emphasizing Zabar's impact on the Upper West Side and his dedication to his deli. The MTA has a history with Zabar's, including a collaboration for edible MetroCard cookies. Renaming a station typically requires geographical relevance, which this proposal fulfills.
