Three weeks after the death of Joe Ades, Manhattan's legendary vegetable peeler peddler, his daughter Ruth Ades-Laurent has taken over the family business. "Some parents leave their kids buildings; my dad left me peelers." She was spotted in Union Square this weekend. Like her father, she is not self-conscious about talking loudly in public.
