I never knew about Arabbers. Thanx. In NYC, a plain old green grocer is a pretty big deal these days, since they're being priced out of their stores along with the rest of us.

I have been under the impression that Arabbers are a
Baltimore thing, but I could be wrong...

Well, they are also an Ankara and possibly all of Turkey thing, although they are becoming a dying breed there too.

The ones that linger on sell mostly staples that are too impractical to buy in small lots and too heavy to carry from the market by a non-car-driving housemaker otherwise: Potatoes and onions, sometimes rice.
