Well at least you can still get a worthy Beijing Duck, properly roasted. Or get Shawarma on lafa bread.

True that!
When I was in my teens shawarma and gyro showed up on the scene in Midtown but a 2 cent plain and chocolate egg cream were still part of the local vernacular. Nowadays, I have to watch and direct how an egg cream is concocted so that what used to be common knowledge thru out the 5 boroughs is made properly. 'Course I can get gyros on most any corner now. As for Peking duck, as long as you're fine with removing the esophagus, it's easy enough to make your own. Or just get on a subway and hightail it to Flushing (*correction made* and you can tell that the boroughh is unknown territory for me:D), Queens, near the home of the Mets w/ no anatomy lesson required:B.
I suspect that on NYD, the man and I, will take a walk down to the Lower East Side, and load up on deli goods: bialys, bagels, pickles galore, pastrami for him and brisket for me. Err I sorta have a yen for a kasha knish too.....be still my not yet over cholesterol laden heart.
Sammy's, 2nd Ave, Stage, the 72nd Milk Deli, and Carnegie's are now history.
