Saturday's opening shot

By Stacie Joy 

The Sock Man — aka Marty Rosen, pictured here — officially kicked off the shop's 40th anniversary yesterday at 99 St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue. 

Some giveaways and stuff are going on at the store this month. (Details are on The Sock Man Instagram account.)

The shop has been at this storefront since November 2016... a rent increase forced him to close his longtime outpost 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).
