RIP - CARROT PEELER SALESMAN OF UNION SQUARE DIES

For those of you from the Big Apple, you’ve undoubtedly seen the crowds around Union Square gathered around the gentleman with the English accent touting the wonders of the vegetable peelers he’d peddle out of a wheeled case. Unfortunately, I just learned that he has passed away at the age of 75 years old this past Sunday. The guy was definitely a character that added to the texture of personality that makes up the regulars of Union Square Park. His enthusiasm for perfectly thin sliced carrots will be sorely missed.
