The mention of hats reminded me of one of your former posts:

Are they still around?
Jeremiah--if you are at the Flea Market on Ave. A & 11th Street during the weekends--check out my friend Terry. He sells women's and men's hats,scarves,ties and had clothing stores in the East Village back in the bad/good ole days. He was a cab driver and his stories are wonderful and I think he would be a good link to interesting things about the past that are no more. He should really write a book.
Oh, DAMN. That's where my father used to buy bialies on Sunday morning, and bring them home, hot, in a brown paper bag, with the Sunday papers tucked under his other arm. I would slather my hot bialy with whipped butter (which my grandfather invented, but sadly was deemed not patent worthy), which dripped slowly onto the comics, as I ate and read, stretched out on the royal blue wall-to-wall carpet.
thanks Melanie--sounds like a cool guy
Melanie: What's Terry's location in the market?
