STORE FRONT Walking Tour this Sunday April 26th 2PM for the Municipal Art Society of New York.

J.Baczynsky aka East Village Meat Market has been in business for over 50 years. It was founded by Julian Baczynsky, a Ukranian immigrant, who specialized in making homemade kielbasa, which is still made today in the back of the store where they also have a smoker, which smokes the meat for 4-6 hours over hardwood. Photo is from 2003 and appears in our book "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York".

We will visit this store and many others as we lead a Store Front walking tour of the East Village and Lower East Side on Sunday, April 26th at 2pm sponsored by the Municipal Arts Society of New York. @mas_nyc The cost is $20/$15 Members We will visit some of the remarkable #momandpop #storefronts documented in our book "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York" and "New York Nights" and remember those that have disappeared. We will stop in many culinary specialty stores and sample #food.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.mas.org or call (212) 935-2075 Monday-Friday 9-5. Meeting location is provided after tickets are purchased. Tour will proceed rain or shine. #savenyc #mas_nyc
