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
