Used to live near Joe Hug. The guy who runs the place (Joe?) is hysterical. I walked in late at night once and he was standing in the front singing into the microphone in some asian language. There were other customers there and I was laughing but he just kept right on going.
Aw, man, why'd you have to post that photo? You're making me all nostalgic! I used to live on 26th between 2nd and 3rd... for maybe 7 years... and Joe Hug was the anchor tenant of my late-night life. Countless 4AM egg salad sandwiches coming back from... shit, Twilo I guess, and then wherever else... No matter HOW MANY TIMES I would buy stuff there, the people who worked there never, EVER showed a spark of recognition of my face. Genius. Loved that place.

We love tips
Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.
By the way
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.
