Gypsies in Manhattan

This past weekend, I swear I saw a gypsy beggar in the subway.  The 4-5 uptown express.  I didn’t get a picture of her, but she looked a little bit like this picture of a gypsy beggar in Turkey.  Has anyone seen her before?  She has a pretty professional looking laminated photo of her holding a child claiming that the child is disabled and that she needs money.  From what I can tell, she doesn’t speak English.  You’ll notice her pretty quickly because her begging style is quite distinctive–silent, forthright and insistent.  I’m the last person who would be up in arms about begging–hey, if you can’t make it, you have a right to ask, though other people have a right to say no. I was just surprised to see a gypsy in Manhattan. Are they coming over?
