The E-Sylum:  Volume 8, Number 6, February 6, 2005, Article 29

WHAT, NO OUTHOUSE IN THE ALLEY?

An anonymous subscriber writes: "In this week's E-sylum,
the subject of being digitally photographed coming out of
Stack's on 57th Street in New York was mentioned. I
thought you might like to know that some of Stacks' more
seasoned customers and most of their employees religiously
refrain from using the 57th Street entrance to Stacks in
order to avoid being tagged as good prospects for a mugger
or pickpocket. They access and egress by using the front
door to the Salisbury Hotel next door. A short walk through
the lobby and a right turn will take you to an interior side
door to Stack's that is open during business hours.

The side door is used by Stack's personnel in order to
access a nearby staircase that leads to Coin Galleries
upstairs and perhaps more importantly, the 2nd floor
bathrooms. I've never thought about this until now,
but I believe there are no bathrooms on the first floor.
Stacks also conducts its auction viewing in a spare room
on the second floor across the hall from Coin Galleries."
