We've long been fascinated by Globe Slicers, which has been in business on the Bowery between Houston and Prince since 1947. (Happy 75th anniversary!)
And we've always wanted to stop in, but never got around to coming up with a cover story to shop for new or rebuilt slicers, mixers, grinders or other food-prep equipment ...
The folks here were nice enough to let EVG contributor Stacie Joy take some photos of the delightfully cluttered storefront...
Oh, and what you came for... the slicers!
There are some quirky touches on the shelves ... 
While this retail corridor continues to upscale, Globe Slicers remains an old Bowery throwback...
Dayton in Manhattan has an extensive history of the address dating to 1832 when dry-goods merchant Daniel C. Boughton lived here.
Within a decade it had been converted for business, with Holdridge & Co.'s drug company in the ground floor. Among the items it marketed to pharmacists and direct users were the Dinner Pill, a "means of exterminating disease and promoting health," and "Dr. Taylor's original and genuine Balsam of Liverwort."
In the mid-1970s, the second-floor unit (aka, "The Blondie Loft") was home to Blondie's Debbie Harry and Chris Stein. At the same time, designer Stephen Sprouse lived on the top floor.
Updated: In the comments on Instagram, Chris Stein noted: "We occupied the whole upper building with a few other people. It was totally haunted. The first floor was a very ancient liquor store back then around 1975-6."
He also thought Globe Slicers moved to 266 from a nearby location after this time period.
