Pastrami Levine: a
sandwich offered in the Levine Marketplace (
Northeastern University,
Boston,
Massachusetts) cafeteria
since 1999. Pastrami Levine, as well as
Levine Marketplace,
Levine Hall, and a classroom in the engineering building, are so named because of a 1.3 million dollar
contribution, as well as two other "major gift(s)", made by Irving M. Levine. In a recent examination (
spring,
2002) few Levine Marketplace
patrons acknowledged understanding the term, "Pastrami Levine." We must question, is the Pastrami Levine an
sandwich, or an
unpopular term?
