I’m looking for information anyone may have on Greenfield’s Pickles on the Lower East Side of NY in the 1920’s – 1940’s. Any and all remembrances, pictures, etc. are welcome. I’m trying to put together a retrospective for the owner’s son’s 70th birthday. I appreciate any help. I can also be reached by e-mail at maria_0121 [at] yahoo [dot] com. Thanks.

How about those big hunk candy bars? I finally found a place on the net where I can still order them and I ordered a case to give out as gifts. Anyone want the address? just ask. Use to eat a pink peanut pattie , anyone remember these? how about when we bought little packages of sweet kool-aid and dipped lemons in them? Little cokes in bottles still better than the big ones!
