NEast Village, Manhattan
You may have noticed this before, but the folks at Foot Gear Plus (131 1st Ave at the corner of St. Mark’s) often leave shoes out on the mailbox for the homeless.

They also own Village Kids Footwear down the block. —————————— Follow us on Tumblr, Twitter @NHEastVillage or via RSS Submit a story here or e-mail NHEastVillage@gmail.com
