About film
Cafe Edison is an American Dream which came true. It is a warm-hearted family business, which tragically comes to an end before its time. The New York Times, writing about Cafe Edison closing down called it the venerable domain of pastrami, borscht and blintzes» which became a second home for creatures of Broadway. The Last Blintz tells about the transformations of culture - not least gastronomical - that happen in a modern-day megapolis.
