When we took this 35mm film photo in 2004 for our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York” we had no idea in that just a few short years that it would close and be replaced by a coffee shop as the neighborhood became more and more gentrified. The other religious stores in the neighborhood also closed and to our knowledge there are none left. Yesterday, we visited this part of the Lower East Side, which once had a large Jewish population and stopped in some other Jewish-owned shops to help support them.
