Tony "The Barber" Nobile Way (Brooklyn)
Present name:None
Location:Northwest corner of 64th Street and 11th Avenue
Honoree: Antonio Nobile (1928-2002), born in Sicily, came to the US in 1968 and opened his first barber shop in Bensonhurst. In 1973, he opened his second shop in Dyker Heights, a business that became a fixture on 11th Avenue for the next three decades. Tony was such an institution in Dyker Heights that customers would continue patronizing his shop, or just stop by for a visit, even after moving out of the area.
