Multimedia artist Red Grooms is best known for illustrating vibrant scenes of urban life. This packed deli features a hurried moment in time where friends, couples, families, and coworkers have stopped in for a quick lunch among the din of conversation and clattering of dishes. This work takes on new significance as many remember the ease of dining in a crowded indoor space before the COVID-19 pandemic.
