The quintessential politico: Rocky chomping on ethnic food, October 1, 1958. Running for his first term as governor, Nelson Rockefeller and Louis Lefkowitz, who was running for Attorney General, ventured down to Delancey Street and visited a deli. It was Rocky's first-ever trip to the Lower East Side. They ate corned beef sandwiches and Rocky also bought a five-pound salami for $3.
