click on the pickle man for a bad ass set of photos by bruce davidson - the series is called "isaac bashevis singer and the lower east side." I.B.S. was the maven of ashkenazi jew authors, and according to my sources, today is the man's birthday (though he died in 1991).
the more curious can check out the exhibit at the jewish museum.

What's weird is that I just watched part of a movie on tv today called "Crossing Delancey" from 1988 in which a bachelor pickleman from the loweasida is trying to get this woman to fall in love with him with the help of her bubbie (sp?) and the local excentric jewish matchmaker lady.
