Since I've lived in NY, I've been opened up to a whole lot more diversity than I even experienced in Phoenix. My wife is Jewish and was raised in Brooklyn so that in itself has provided for a lot of learning opportunities over the past few years.Recently, we found ourselves in Brooklyn at Maimonides hospital to visit Phil (mother-in-law's boyfriend of many years). He's doing fine but that's not the point of this story. Just before we got the hospital, we saw some interesting (to me, anyway) attire. There were these great hats and other clothing that I hadn't seen before. Had to take a picture.
After some research, I found out the hats are called, "Kolpik". Learn something new everyday!
P.S. Doesn't it look like the guy on the left is thinking something like, "I really like that hat on you."?
