In the Sunday edition of The New York Daily News, there is often an article in the Life & Style section (called The Best of New York) about New York City's finest offerings in areas of food, drink and services. The article contains mini reviews and recommendations that are submitted by New Yorkers that are making their "vote" on the best of a given offering. This past Sunday, April 3rd 2011, the article was dedicated to the best shoe-shine in New York City, and yours truly had her submission chosen for the "Your Two Cents" segment of the article. I wrote about the talents of my neighborhood shoe repair man, Antonio, pictured (far left) in the photo posted above with his employees. If you'd like to read the article, please click here, and you will find page two of the article and hence, where you also will find my two cents, but if you want any great shoe service, Antonio is your man. He can be found (a few yards north of the still darkened Lucky Brand) at 228-A on Columbus Avenue next to the pint-sized shop, äskling , which I wrote about this past fall.
