Former site of Peter Cooper's glue factory
A typical dumpy-looking (I mean that lovingly) local politician's office, and the site of a dramatic kitten rescue last January.
This sign has seen some rough times since I last walked by in 2007.
Feltly Hats was featured in an NY Times story about Hasidic hats a couple of years ago.
I didn't realize I had been walking on snow for almost a mile until my feet hit clean sidewalk and I had to stop for a moment to figure out why everything felt different all of a sudden. Then I understood: I had reached the end of the Hasidic part of Williamsburg, where no one had been shoveling sidewalks because it's Shabbat. (For the record, this change occurred right by Peter Luger Steak House.)
