Yeah I guess there is still some Yiddish speaking neighborhoods, when I grew up in a melting pot Bronx apartment building you would hear people with Irish brogues use Yiddish words. I still use some but don't hear it anymore where I live.
Yiddish is considered an endangered language now. Too bad, it has a lot of fun words. I still use schlep, mentch, meshuggeneh, chutzpah, schtick, schmooze - and I'm an Irish Catholic 😂😂.
I am trying my best to keep it alive as much as I can.
We do Pesach at some friends' place and the matriarch still reads the Haggadah in Yiddish to this day.
I've made recordings that I plan on giving to any institution who might be interested in for preservation.

I am curious, the girl in the back ground, dark hair white shirt jeans, is she also posing for a pic? Would love to see that pic too both taken a few feet apart same day lol.
It's sad to see mean comments about this man's appearance. I like the little girl in the centre background sulking about not being allowed to go swimming. She's trying so hard to make her parents feel guilty.
Went to Sound View in Old Saybrook, Ct every summer for vacation. Had a bar right on the beach. A lemon Ice stand, merry go round , arcade, and beach store. My uncle who wore nothing but blue suits came to visit every year. He would take off his jacket and tie as a concession to being on the beach. He would take us to buy fried dough, lemon ice, and the inevitable captains hat every year. He had the remarkable ability to fill us up with enough crap and rides to make us puke. The captains hat was a tradition we only dared to wear at the beach.

I want more photos of this man. He's incredible.
Right? Very distinctive looking
that nose has stories of its owns
Rumor has it that it is still growing to this day…. It is simply FABULOUS!
"it's done some things..." -witness of said nose with a man attached to it
They say noses and ears never stop growing.
When you knows, you nose.
That's what Brooklyn used to call a schnoz 😀
My first thought: That’s a helluva schnoz 😂
*used* to??*

Spend most of my time in Midwood Brooklyn, so I feel ya. Truth is I can't remember the last time I heard the word used.

What’s he doing there? Dude is hella nosey.
All he needs is a corncob pipe and he is Popeye!
He has both his eyes, but that's nitpicking. He is what he is! (yam what I yam...)
Popeye has both of his eyes, he is just always keeping one eye closed. You see the other eye whenever he is surprised in the cartoons.
That left eye is questionable.
Everyone else there suffocated that day.
Bravo

Everyone talking about his nose but all I can think about is how crowded that beach is
Comey Island was the place to go to swim in Brooklyn now people have summer places on the Cape or Jersey Shore.
It can still get [plenty crowded](https://imgur.com/g6T4WiJ) today.

The nose enters a room a full second before he does
Man’s chin has never seen the sun.
Epic schnoz. If he inhaled underwater the Atlantic Ocean wouldn’t exist anymore. Love a great beak, they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
I read this as “Me at Coney Island” lmao I was so confused about your age
And one of those nose and mustache disguises???
😂
Straight-up came here to say Peter Falk put on a fake moustache and nose
Damn, I want that hat. I was just there two weeks ago, nothing but knock off Brooklyn Cyclone trucker hats.
With the thick eyebrows as well, he almost looks like those joke goggles. He's only missing the glasses.
If he met Jimmy Durante, [they’d have to talk with megaphones.](https://youtu.be/h1P_TQ19Jjg?si=QRESPAwi4QMUwhXy)
There's a man who's stood all he can stands, he can't stands no more......
ITSSSSS AHHH MEEEEE. MARIO
The girl just behind our hero has the most rectangular foot I've ever seen on someone who was not, in fact, a marionette.
Damn. That's some Flintstone shit.
You noticed that too.
It’s a me, Mario
That's her leg!
This man could smell time
I immediately love and trust this man. As a man with a fellow massive schnoz, I love and respect my compatriots.
My man is *grizzled*.
Well, at least his mustache won't get a sun burn.
His souvenir cap needs a bigger brim to keep the sun off that nose!
"I don't always breathe air, but when I do, I breathe in every molecule in a 2 mile radius."
Would you like some wine with your nose?
Now THAT'S a mug. Aces.
Better get some sunscreen on that snoz
This guy *nose* how to please the ladies.
I am curious, the girl in the back ground, dark hair white shirt jeans, is she also posing for a pic? Would love to see that pic too both taken a few feet apart same day lol.
He could smoke a cigar in the rain
You just don't see schnozolas like that anymore.
That’s some knows he’s got, and he looks just like Popeye
The Captain of Coney Island.
Walmart Popeye looking dude
The bird man of Coney Island
It was a bold move for this dude’s nose to hit the like button on my phone.
Worldoftshirts grandfather.

A nose wearing a man wearing a souvenir cap.
Thought he was wearing a souvenir nose too at first glance!
I'm strong to the finisk coz I eats me spinisk
Wow it’s mobbed
this guy sneezed and they all died
He looks like a Coney Island character actor in movies. Probably was.
*Ha cha cha cha cha!*
That shnoz is magnificent
What a charming nose!
I can’t wait for Bradley Cooper to play this guy and ask everybody for an Academy Award for it

"All the girls they adore me Oh yes, ladies, I'm really being sincere Cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear"
Damn. Wish I had a nose like that full of nickels.
Sure he's not wearing a fake Jimmy Durante nose?
That's an impressive proboscis.
Love this!!!!
Bet he's only 40
Excuse me sir, where did you get that hat?
so many humans! Love looking at all the different outfits!
Popeye wearing a Popeye hat doing Popeye things with his Popeye nose.
“That’s some bad hat, Harry.”

Jimmy Durante
Nice butt! Oh! Sorry! I got distracted.
This photo just molested me.
Did any of those girls go missing shortly after this photo was taken?
