The Classic Fruit Pushcart

Even in hard times, New York City being a port town, was always privy to fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, meat etc. Back in the day an inexpensive fresh piece of fruit was always a good healthy snack.

Despite supermarkets and groceries many fruit carts still 
operate thoughtout the city. 
The quick availability of a sidewalk purchase is always a plus for 
busy New Yorkers.
The above beauty is located at 53rd and Lex.

Russian Souvenirs shop


Located at 227 East 14th Street • NYC
Nobody knows how long the Russian Souvenirs shop has been here. The owner Alex is not saying. The store dark, cramped and it's not very friendly inside but if you're looking for a Gorbachev nesting doll or a third scale bust of Lenin, this is the place.
