In this week's Video Look Book, Crif Dogs manager Peggy Punch recalls the East Village of old, when the Cro-Mags thrashed the Continental and Tompkins Square Park was a thriving tent city.

"It's not what New York City used to be for me when I was 15 coming here and being a little bit scared." Today, Punch slings some of the city's finest hot dogs and considers single-handedly upping the neighborhood's grit factor by getting another tattoo.
