Upvote. Love 'im. But, as a native and current resident, I cannot abide the misspelling; ManhattAn, please.

Thanks for that, I've updated the name (pity the address will forever more have the misspelling )

I am also a Manhattan resident. And I cannot abide misspelling BorschT.

Oh yeah, and Mel brooks is one of the greatest people who ever lived. Thanks for the post.

P.S: It's also spelled borshch but from what I understand, that's not the variant used by Jewish New Yorkers like Mel.

I actually looked up borscht to try and get it right... man I didn't do well, ok, I'm updating it now!

Moving this video to spoco2's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.

Does a legend of comedy such as Mr Brooks really need to *beg? I mean, really?

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter spoco2.

*dead

This video has been declared non-functional; embed code must be fixed within 2 days or it will be sent to the dead pool - declared dead by cricket.
