Anyone who knows photography knows B&#038;H, as it&#8217;s pretty much the biggest photography supply retailer in the country.  It&#8217;s always an experience to go there, with the controlled chaos, and the tourists, and the crowds, and the fact that it&#8217;s in kind of a no-man&#8217;s-land on 9th avenue in Manhattan.  As a bonus, it&#8217;s owned and almost entirely operated by members of the Orthodox\/Hasidic Jewish community, so they&#8217;re closed on Saturdays and all major and minor jewish holidays, making it incredibly convenient for anyone who has a Monday thru Friday job.  But I totally love it and pretty much won&#8217;t shop anywhere else for photo equipment (bonus tip &#8211; if you actually need to know when some obscure jewish holiday is, the calendar on their website is very handy!).  <\/p>\n<p>In any event, one of the upsides of visiting a store in the somewhat dodgy neighborhood near madison square garden is the plethora of older buildings and signs.
