Barbers of Belmont
Recorded in Elmont, NY.
Premiered October 25, 2004, on Morning Edition.


Hidden deep inside New York's famed Belmont racetrack, below the grandstand and past rows of betting windows, is a plain sign tucked almost out of sight, which reads, "Barbershop." There, inside a cavernous cinder-block room with three old-fashioned barbershop chairs, you'll find the incomparable barbers of Belmont: Sal, Tony, and Uri.

Producers: Eliza Bettinger and Brett Myers / Excecutive Producer: David Isay / Funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowment for the Arts. Photograph by Samuel Herzlinger. Special thanks to Ani Mukherji.
