Happy 40th anniversary to The Sock Man!

If you've been by The Sock Man at 99 St. Mark's Place in the past week, you've likely seen the new 40th-anniversary mural inside the front door. 

This anniversary is quite a feet feat for another small business. Congrats to owner Marty Rosen (pictured above!). 

The shop has been at this spot between Avenue A and First Avenue since November 2016... a rent increase forced him to close his longtime shop at 27 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. 

The Sock Man opens daily at noon, with an 8 p.m. close during the week and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday (and 9 p.m. on Sunday).

    The "Take No Shit, Give No Fucks" socks are among my favorites. Time for new socks, everybody. Happy 40th Anniversary!
