Mittman's Pharmacy is located at 167 Havemeyer Street by South 3rd. I've only wandered around Havemeyer on weekends so it's hard for me to tell if this place is still in business. The painted decorations on the side of the shop remind me of folk art.

Update: So by chance I was wandering near Mittman's Pharmacy and yes they are still very much in business! The place is tiny inside, in fact while they did have a few small items in sale the store is pretty much only a pharmacy. It was like one of the many micro-sized Chinese take out places in he hood, except that they sell medicine instead of lo mein.

Returning from the crafts fair I came across several street performers with English accents. However they were fleeing north, so to engage this chap I accused him of being a hipster and managed to capture this image.

Thanks to my Flickr pal wellohorld I found out that our bunny is in fact a chicken! His name is Chicken Nuts (real name is Matthew Silver) and performs as part of the Bedford Circus of Fools. They perform for free on Bedform every Sunday at 1pm!

My guess is that if they don't start charging pretty soon they'll be the Bushwick Circus of Fools...

Returning from the crafts fair I got this deconstructed shot of a mural at the north of the park.
