The old Hotel Tudor is now a Hilton, but the corporate hands haven’t gotten around to taking down the old sign, a Midtown East unofficial landmark. Hopefully it’s too costly and not worth the trouble to tear it down. This photo was taken from the 10th floor of WPIX, itself a neighborhood fixture since 1948. #signs #tudorcity #manhattan #vintage #oldnyc #murrayhill #kipsbay #unitednations #hotels #relic #artifacts #urbanarchaeology
This great old LIQUORS sign is covered up and the shop has moved away. Too bad they couldn’t take this sign. Signs of this genre are now rare gems. In an era where such stores brand themselves as refined wine shops, it’s curious to see a throwback to a time when it was all about da booze, in big red #neon letters. #liquor #wine #nyc #oldnyc #oldschool #vintage #retro
