Marty's Barber Shop in the New York Times

marty's barber sag harbor in the new york times
Looks like the New York Times picked up on my coverage of Sag Harbor's Marty the Barber a couple of weeks ago. They did their own feature with a decidely more factual and sympathetic portrait of the man. Check out the story here .

Marty's Shop Barber on Sesame Street
Siding
marty's barber sag harbor on sesame street
So I'm watching Sesame Street with my daughter the other morning and a video clip of a street that looks strikingly like Main St. Sag Harbor flashes the screen for a few seconds. Cut to the inside of a barber shop, and lo and behold, it's Sag Harbor's Marty the Barber giving a kid a haircut! I knew it. The clip must be 10 or even 20 years old. And good old Elmo is narrating the clip about how this kid is getting a haircut from "Mario" the barber. Pretty cool right? MY daughter loves Elmo, so she was pretty into it.


Elmo in the Window

The next time I was in Sag Harbor, I checked out Mario's window, and look, there are Elmo stickers! Mario loves Elmo just like my daughter does.


Wait a Second...

Upon closer inspection, it seems that Mario doesn't like kids at all? What happened to sour Mario on kids? And why is he working so few hours? Something tells me Mario won't be around for the long haul.

This American Life

On June 23rd, NPR re-broadcast a "This American Life" episode from June of 2000 featuring an unusual Sag Harbor real estate deal gone awry. The deal involved Ned Newhouse of the classical music store that bears his name at the top of Main St. You can listen to the episode at the link above by entering "Deal of a Lifetime" into the "search this site" box.

Commercial Space to Rise at 34 Bay St. in Sag Harbor

Sag Harbor's Architectural Review Board approved Stephen and James Loeffler's plan for a brick office building to be built at the old gas station at this lot on the bay. I caught a glimpse of the mock-up; looks beautiful. Should be a nice improvement from the current state of this lot, and hopefully it won't adversely effect what is generally a good area for parking.


It's right down the street from the American Legion/Dockside Restaurant
