As a coda to our report on the recent death of beloved vegetable peeler salesman Joe Ades, we've put together a photo tribute to this unforgettable New York character. The city is a little less distinct with his passing. For more, peruse this Flickr group dedicated to Joe.






He was one of the snappiest dressers in New York. Really dapper guy.
Carrots and potatoes everywhere must be breathing a collective sigh of relief.

this dude was awesome. I also have a soft spot for the juggling guy at south street seaport.
I felt like I knew him since I saw him quite often at Union Square. I heared he had a great luxury apartment which he stored Boxes and Boxes of those cutters from Switzerland. R.I.P
My peeler works really well.
best salesman, ever! he will be missed.
