For years I have wanted to visit B & H Photo in New York City. It is run by a group of Orthodox Jews who honor their Sabbath day. They close down in the afternoon on Friday before sunset and they open again on Sunday. You can’t even order from their website on the weekend until late Saturday evening. I have a great respect for these owners that they would be true to their convictions, closing down their entire operation in an extremely competitive business world. So in the past, when I have visited New York, my only option for visiting B & H has been Saturday.  That is until my recent visit when I was able to make it to 420 9th Avenue on a Friday morning. What a great visit.  I could have stayed even longer, looking and discussing and learning.  Their amazing super store in Manhattan is filled with exciting photo and other related gear. And the staff is second to none, knowledgeable and helpful.  They have an in-house product delivery system that runs overhead. Purchased items are put in the green bins and these are transported on tracks down to the checkout area.  If you love photography, make the B & H pilgrimage sometime. But be careful, it could be a costly visit.
