As a New Yorker I salivated at the scenes from Katz's Delicatessen on Houston (pronounced HOUSEtun) Street. Remember that scene from "When Harry Met Sally?" No orgasm here but a possibly sadistic director put a full plate of Katz's pickles and pickled tomatoes at the screen's edge.Interestingly, the monstrously thick sandwiches that are the restaurant's pride are replaced here with offerings that might be found in any ho-hum suburban diner. Perhaps the director feared that the Holy Grail of pastrami sandwiches would distract from the dialogue.
The semi-documentary style of the film, replete with jumpy frames, works but what makes the film interesting is that every character is recognizable to New Yorkers and, I'll bet, plenty of folks who do not live in my or any other big city.
Dishonesty in relationships, adultery, longing to meet the right lover - this is the stuff of many movies and little of the character portraits in "Sidewalks of New York" is particularly new. What propels the film are the well-acted parts. Stanley Tucci is a husband with a mistress but without a clue as to his own utter banality. Heather Graham is good as a wife who slowly realizes that life requires hard choices. That's also true of many women who find themselves in unexpectedly sterile marriages. The rest of the cast gives good performances with just a slight exaggeration, in some scenes, of the types we know too well. All three female protagonists receive the salty and knowing advice of the stereotypical, less attractive but wise and witty, girlfriend. The guys are less lucky. Again, real life!
One painful part of the film was several scenes in which the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center are a backdrop. I would not have wanted them excised but knowing so many who died were in the buildings while the scenes were shot viscerally chilled me.
