Joe Aiello’s workday begins long before the sparrows sing on Dongan Avenue in the city’s South End. Each morning before sunrise, Aiello unloads pallets of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, bananas, pears, oranges, apples and herbs from trucks arriving from New York City’s sprawling produce markets.
On Monday, when winter’s first major snowfall closed schools, shut down offices and brought the morning commute to a crawl, there was Aiello, a looming presence at 6-foot-3, up to his elbows in produce boxes. His commitment is as steadfast as a postal carrier’s promise to complete one’s appointed rounds regardless of inclement weather.
