I Don't Want A Pickle, I Just Want.....

Actually, I could easily take care of a quart of half sours by myself. The 6th Annual Lower East Side Pickle Festival, 9/17/06-great weather, a nice crowd, mother and daughter Lehon's and a surprise encounter with Aunt Lilly and Cousin Lois. The slide show combines pics I took with some info on the festival, some Crossing Delancey production photos and "Come Softly To Me" (used in the movie) as a soundtrack. I used the Fleetwoods instead of the film's Roches' version. I remember my mother taking me to the original Guss in the 50's when his store was on Hester (across from Gertel's). For my money the "Pickle Guys" (on Essex Street) are better than the current version of Guss.
