RATING:
REVIEWS:
Izzy Guss in the early 1910 started a sidewalk stand, which moved from Essex to Orchard Street in 2002, now owned by a mom and son team is one of New York’s beloved shops. One can get a pickle for .50 cents or a quart for $6.00, flavors range from sour, very sour, super sour, and hot. But if your not feeling the pickles they also kraut sour/sweet, peppers sour/sweet, marinated mushrooms, artichokes and capers – basically anything that sounds good pickled. For the true cheapAss who want to experience NYC for less then a dollar eat a pickle and pretend you're Charlie Chaplin in one of those old black and white silent films.
rave:the sour pickles very crunchy and not soggy and the hot pickles are great if you like to make fire downsouth this will do it, but not so crunchy.
enjoy!
