Sneak Jeans

Remembering Sneak Jeans 👖 on Delancey near Orchard Street in the late 1990s. (Note the “DESIGNER JEANS FOR ALL” signage). When we took this 35mm film photo, Orchard Street and neighboring Delancey Street were part of a largely Jewish-owned retail shopping district that closed on Saturdays and was known for its discount prices on clothing, hats, undergarments, leather jackets, as well as textiles and linens and was a popular destination for bargain hunters. These days most of the Jewish-owned businesses have left and have been replaced by boutiques and art galleries. Let us know if you remember this store and your memories of bargain shopping on the Lower East Side.

We hope everyone is off to a good start for 2023! To kick off the New Year, we are highlighting one of the oldest continuously operating bars in NYC, McSorley's on East 7th Street by Cooper Square, which has been in business since 1854. Originally, McSorley’s was an all-male Irish ☘️ pub known by its slogan, “good ale, raw onions, and no ladies”. Female customers were admitted to most bars by about 1960, but McSorley’s was the last bar in New York City to admit only men. Despite pressure from the women’s movement, it fought to maintain its exclusivity, which was a common practice established long before the Prohibition. The women presented their case with a lawsuit in 1970, Seidenberg vs. McSorley, that resulted in "McSorley's law", prohibiting sex discrimination in bars, hotels, restaurants, airplanes, golf clubs, and other public accommodations. McSorley's still has the same bar taps, wooden bar, and the same pot-bellied stove since it opened in 1854. It serves just 2 kinds of beer, McSorley's own light and dark.
