In the film "You've Got Mail" Kathleen went shopping at the supermarket in Upper Manhattan named "Zabar's" I want to know how "za" is pronounced. Like "zei" or "za"? In other words, "z-eight" or "z-ant" All my friend (Japanse) read it as "z-a-bar" Is it correct?

Thank you for anwering my question. I've got two different answer, but it seems that "zay-bar" is correct. I live in Tokyo and use the film as our English languate lesson. That's why I want to know correct pronunciation.

did you call information and ask for that supermarket? It was a movie and the name may have been made up for the movie.

Actually it's pronounced Zay - Bars. If anyone has any doubts about whether or not that is correct you can call them at 212 -787-2000
The store is located on 80th and BWY on the west side of the street under an orange and white awning. it is one of the truly great gourmet grocery stores in america and for a foodie it's on the" must see " list when visiting NYC.
While the the movie showed the first floor there is also a second floor that sells gourmet and hard to find kitchen items
All in all a great place to be and their almond croissants are incredible
