Description
Digital image of black-and-white photo of Biggie's Clam Bar exterior with signage ("Biggie's," "Frankfurters" and "Clams") and outdoor vending cart, 318 Madison St., Hoboken, no date, circa 1946-1955. Original print was 3-1/2" x 3-5/8" wide. Reverse was blank. Photographer not indicated.
The cart in front is a typical street peddler's pushcart. It have been the cart used in the 1941-1946 period when Joe 'Biggie' Yaccarino sold clams by going bar to from bar to bar (initially with just clam buckets, later a cart.) He established the Madison Street restaurant in 1946.
Near the doorway is a case with sliced watermelon, fifteen cents.
