Celebrating the Shoe Repair Shop
Some Brooklynites see the shoe repair shop as a dying institution, replaced by bank branches and cell phone stores. So Brooklyn Based has tracked down the borough’s best, extant, cobblers: Yelena in Greenpoint; Express in Boerum Hill; Roman’s in Windsor Terrace, to name a few. Their list continues here. You got nominees? Photo by gkjarvis.

gkw, I miss the disgruntled Russian guy.
gkw, I couldn’t agree more. It’s disgraceful.
this blog has really fallen apart. I hope you’re happy brownstoner.
Are you sure you want to use some of our suggestions…they were, um, suggestive.
Wow peeps, I’m impressed at how much response our article got! I had no idea people were so into cobblers. We’ll update our post with your suggestions. Thanks!

DIBS…please don’t
‘Susanna Hoffs’ – Bangles, not going to touch that one.
Corn-0-Meter??? Not going to touch that one.
“the Corny Meter is on overdrive.”
Officially, it’s a Corn-O-Meter, BRG. Not to be confused with my Fromage-O-Meter.
“What is this supposed to reference.”
Shoes, feet, walking…sheesh! C’mon BRG.
I had such a crush on Susanna Hoffs back in the day…sigh…
DIBS, when I said ‘People’…I didn’t mean you, I meant the FCC patrolling this site. Don’t want people to think I’m using crude language.
So far, I’ve shown retraint, but I’m slowly loosing up. For prudish people DO NOT READ further.
‘I knew that. We had the Brougham/Coupe deVille discussion a few weeks ago.’
DIBS, you can borrow the caddy. It’s nice and roomy. You can fit 3 adults comfortably in the back seat.
