About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside and asked the barber: ‘Why do you always wave at that old lamp post across the street?’ The barber smiled and replied, 'Because every time I cut someone's hair, he looks like that lamp post.' The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh and said, 'You must be losing your mind!'
2. A little boy walked into the shop, pointing excitedly at the old mirror above the barber’s chair. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘is that Abraham Lincoln?’ The barber smiled and nodded towards the antique mirror. 'No son,' he said gently, 'that's just an old-fashioned style of shaving mirror.' The boy frowned thoughtfully for a moment before turning back with a twinkle in his eye. 'Then why does everyone come here?' he asked curiously. The barber laughed heartily. 'Because they love our service, kid!'
3. Late one night, a delivery driver parked outside the barbershop and noticed an eerie humming coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw the barber clipping hair with unnatural precision—his scissors seemed to move on their own. Suddenly, the barber turned around with a smile, revealing his perfectly styled beard. ‘Just finishing up for the day,’ he said in a deep voice. The delivery driver relaxed, realizing it was just another late-night routine. As he left, he overheard the barber whispering to himself: “Next time, maybe some highlights.”
4. One day, while cutting hair in the quiet New York barbershop, the radio crackled with an odd announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our city’s famous pigeon population has declared martial law.’ The barber raised an eyebrow, but continued trimming as customers chuckled. Suddenly, a regular customer exclaimed, 'I see them forming ranks outside!' Before anyone could react, a neighbor burst through the door, shouting, 'They’re marching down Broadway!' The barber calmly finished his last cut, saying, 'Well, looks like today’s special is a free birdwatching tour.'
