Now that the L train shutdown in the evenings has begun, our thoughts go to the Lower East Side Coffee Shop, on East 14th Street by Avenue A. The preliminary work on the L tunnel that began over a year ago directly affects this #coffeeshop as there has been barricades and large equipment digging directly in front of it making it difficult to access the #diner. We hope that it is able to survive despite the lengthy work being done. •

We also wanted to announce that there have been a few spots which have opened up for our upcoming “Capturing the Faces & Voices of Mom-and-Pop Storefronts” free workshops which begins this Monday, April 29th from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. This photography, social media, and oral history workshop will focus on the cultural significance of neighborhood stores and the impact they have on the pulse, life, and texture of their communities. The workshops culminate in both online (website and dedicated Instagram page @momandpopstorefronts as well as a public exhibition of participants’ work at The Theater for The New City Gallery in the East Village.
The workshops teach how photography, social media, and oral history can be tools for public awareness and advocacy. Participants will learn to create their own powerful photographs of neighborhood storefronts as well as record oral histories with shop owners, which communicate artistically and are insightful and moving. Participants will also gain valuable knowledge in creating and maintaining their own social media account.
If you would like to participate in our free workshops please DM or email us at jandkphoto@att.net so that we can send you all the details on where to meet in the East Village.

Tony’s Park Barber Shop in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. We absolutely love this old-school #barbershop and its owner, Tony Garofalo who first began working at the shop in 1964 after arriving from Italy . Although he told us that he didn’t speak a word of English when he first arrived, the neighborhood was predominantly Italian so he quickly fit in and less than a year later was able to purchase the shop and later the entire building. We originally photographed the shop in 2006 for our book, “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York” and also had the chance to watch him work ✂️ . Sadly, we just heard from our friend @americansquares that Tony is planning on retiring but we have not been able to confirm a date or any other info. We wish him the best and will always remember watching him cut the hair of a youngster (swipe left for 2nd photo) whose father also was a long-time customer of Tony.
