SORRY it took me so long to get back here! I lived in the projects in a building right near the corner of Houston Street and FDR Drive.

The thing I loved most about the Essex Street Market was that there were so many buildings and so many different sections selling everything from soup to nuts. When I was in high school (Seward Park on Grand Street), I used to buy vanilla sandwich cookies from one of the vendors at Essex Street almost every day on my way home from school…
