Brass Knuckle Sandwich with Your Slice?

Not too long ago a reader sent in this photo of weapons being sold from behind the counter of Williamsburg's Eden Pizza, located just off Bedford on North 7th. The reader told us: "I was rather pissed off too see this display of knives and brass knuckles for sale in my neighborhood at a local pizza joint." The establishment gets a 3.5 on Yelp, with mentions of a sweet staff, so it's likely they're not going to slice you up when you order up your slice—but still, this can't be legal. (A call to the NYPD about this yielded some confusion and we're still waiting to hear back about the legality behind selling brass knuckles.) Either way, it's sort of unsettling given the gang activity in the area. On the other hand: $1.25 slices!
