The Pickle Guys, April 2014
You waited all year for this, so clear your calendars (and sinuses). The Pickle Guys on Essex Street will begin grinding fresh horseradish this Sunday ahead of the Passover holiday.
Expect the usual sidewalk spectacle, with gas-masked grinder and queues of customers lining the sidewalk to partake. It’s usually worth the wait, though, should you need to stock your fridge or seder plate with the requisite bitter herbs.
Russell Borscht will also be available for purchase.
Passover begins sundown on April 22. The Pickle Guys will close at 3pm that day, and reopen May 2.
