Baby Products & Seafood! From a Yelp review:
I ventured in to discover that, indeed, at the front of the store are various toddler trinkets and merchandise. Then, beyond the disposable diapers, jolly jumpers and sippy cups; beyond the formula, teething rings and other infant paraphernalia; at the very back of the establishment lies a freezer full of fish - frozen shrimp, mussels and what appears to be dried salted cod.
This place delivers what it promises.
Barber Z(one). The Z has to be in place of an S to count.
Here in New Mount Carmel Cemetery is a large section of the laser-etched portrait stones that, as we've seen, are popular among Jews from the former Soviet Union.
Among those buried here at New Mount Carmel Cemetery are Henny Youngman and his beloved, though oft-maligned, wife of almost 60 years, Sadie.
A common sight at Jewish cemeteries, gates like this one announce the name of the burial society that owns a particular section of plots.
This World War I memorial was sculpted by Anton Schaaf, who also created the bas-relief panels for the Ridgewood War Memorial and the doughboy statue at the Park Slope Armory.
This is one of two Workmen's Circle burial sections at Mount Lebanon Cemetery.
That's Nathan of Nathan's Famous hot dogs. Ida, his wife, is said to have created the recipe that made the dogs so famous.
This isn't the first time we've encountered frankfurter royalty in a cemetery, by the way. In Green-Wood Cemetery, we came across the mausoleum of Charles Feltman, who is often credited with inventing the hot dog, and then we learned of a connection between him and Nathan:
Feltman died in 1910, but his restaurant stayed in business, and it was a few years later that a young Polish immigrant named Nathan Handwerker found work there slicing rolls. Supposedly with some encouragement and borrowed money from his then-unknown co-workers Eddie Cantor and Jimmy Durante, Nathan opened his own hot dog joint in 1916 at the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues, where he and his wife served up frankfurters for just a nickel apiece, half the price his former employer charged.As we've seen, it's a Jewish custom to place rocks on gravestones that you visit. If you take a closer look at the rocks sitting atop Nathan's and Ida's stones, you'll see they've been decorated with the Nathan's Famous logo. Painted on the bottom of each one are four names: Steve, Michelle, Diana, and Lucas — presumably the folks who left the rocks here at Mount Lebanon. As it turns out, Steve is Nathan and Ida's grandson, Michelle is Steve's wife, and Diana and Lucas are their two children. Steve and Michelle head up the International Association for the Advancement of Peace. Diana was named the Humane Teen of the Year by the National Association for Humane and Environmental Education in 2007, and is, or at least was at that time, a vegetarian. Lucas is a self-described "hypnotist, mentalist, speaker, writer, & explorer of the mind" and a father-described "explorer and facilitator of multidimensional reality".
According to legend (and Nathan's grandson), with some variations from one telling to another, people were initially skeptical about the quality and contents of a wiener that could be sold for a mere five cents. To alleviate these concerns, Nathan hired people to dress as doctors and eat hot dogs in front of his stand, giving the impression that medical professionals considered his food perfectly healthy. Before long, with the arrival of the subway in Coney Island (and with the terminal station located right across the street), the dogs started selling like crazy, and now, almost a century later, Nathan's Famous remains a household name.
This must be the caretaker's house here at Mount Lebanon Cemetery.
The circles surrounding this mausoleum door represent the twelve tribes of Israel.
to Michael Walsh. A sign on the tree reads: "THIS TREE IS PLANTED IN MEMORY OF MICHAEL WALSH". Custom-made street signs for Michael Walsh's Place and Zero Days Way are mounted on a pole next to the tree pit. You can watch in Street View as this memorial takes shape over the years, starting with an empty patch of sidewalk: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014.
