Joe and Tony's Barbershop???

[EastcoastJL]

First, is there/was there such a place in New York? If so, where is it & is it still in operation these days?
I'm pretty sure it's a real place because there's footage of a barber shop on one of the old Beastie Boys videos (either Sabatoge or Skills to pay the Bills). Also on one of Ricky Powells old shows there was a clip of Adrock getting his haircut by someone named Tony.

funny you should bring this subject up. I was talking to Laver about this a bit earlier and he brought it to my attention that either joe or tony had passed a few years back therefore they closed the shop.

Yeah, the shop was on lipsenard just south of canal. I push dollars, long dollars, over on greenwich and would get my chop cut over there every once and a while. t'was old school 'nuf that they had the playboys to read while you waited. anyways as with all barebershops in the cit'ay, the ruski's took helm.

Yeah...I think they've closed down due to someone passing away.

A few years ago when I was vacationing in Manhattan, I was bored in my hotel room and went through the phone book to look up to see if there was a Joe and Toni’s barber shop, there were like 4
