Sorry, but Nostalgia's food was way better. High quality beef and good portions. Their pastrami was homemade. Nothing in the area compared. They will be missed.

there is a reason bun is always packed :). when people are paying more for everything its the slightly more expensive places that get hurt most. high end you plan on splurging. low end you are going to go cheaper

Nostalgia was sit down waiter service, not sure why you're comparing it to the other eateries in that area. There's nothing similar.
