West 231st Street and Godwin Terrace received a new name on Sept. 28 — at least ceremonially — when a new sign declaring the corner “Loeser’s Deli Place” was unveiled.

No need to change: Connaughton's celebrates 40 years

It’s actually been 40 years since Terry and wife Anne took over what had been a fledgling business in the heart of North Riverdale.
