MB says there used to be a guy with a pushcart who grated fresh horseradish on Rivington Street. Supposedly his hands were swollen to gigantic balloon-like size from handling the horseradish all day. I've always liked that image.
Also, speaking of horseradish, the snap pea with fresh grated horseradish at Momofuku is amazing. Sure, it's like $11 or something (and not even that big!) but it was the best snap peas I've ever had. Made me think I needed to track down some fresh horseradish and now I know where.
