This charming, old-school hat shop has been around since 1907. Specializing in vintage, handcrafted hats, the shop was opened by Pete Batsakes, and is now run by his nephew. From the fanciest of fedoras to the most utilitarian baseball caps, the collection here is impressive to say the least, making it popular with celebrities, politicians and high rollers. Gus, the nonagenarian who presently owns the shop is no longer able to make, clean, block or restore hats as he once did. Nor is there a shoe shine person like the good old days. But like always, there is a handsome variety of hats to choose from
