(NYC filter) Help me find the Cantor that sells 600 thread count bed sheets in front of a synagogue near Macy's.

Two weeks ago after I left Macy's I came upon an old guy selling 600 thread count egyptian cotton linnens off a table on the street, in front of an old building. Fourty bucks a king size set! I didn't buy them then but got his card, and turns out he's a Cantor and that place was a synagogue.

I obviously lost his card, and today I walked up and down the whole area looking for him, but couldn't find a synagogue to save my soul. As I remember it, it should not be more than 2 blocks from Macy's. Have you ever seen this guy? Where is this synagogue? Is a bargain-sheet-selling Cantor too bizare to be real? Did I halucinate?

It's on 6th or Broadway, somewhere between 34th and 38th. Whichever block it's on, it's definitely on the west side of the street.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the Millinery Center Synagogue, at 1025 Sixth Avenue, between 38th & 39th, on the west side of the street.
