This finely fettled fellow hails from yesterday’s Easter Parade. Michael Tapp, who had the pleasure of making this man’s acquaintance writes:
On Easter Sunday the city shuts down part of 5th avenue for the Easter Parade. No obnoxious vendors and halal, people just strut down 5th avenue in their Sunday best.
I spotted this man from a distance and I knew he would be a great subject. He knew exactly what to do and I didn’t have to direct him at all. I wanted to find out more about him but he went off to start posing for shots with children and other people. He actually reached out to people to get them in photos with him. He’s actually a pretty joyful guy.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
This *Sunday is the 12th Annual Greenpoint Memorial Day Parade*! This is a special opportunity for everyone in our community to thank our neighborhood veterans for their service. It means a great deal to our veterans to have Greenpointers line the streets and cheer them on along the parade route. The parade is quintessentially Greenpoint with school marching bands and other local attractions. The 2012 Grand Marshal is Lorraine Bizinski
