Spring and 6th Avenue

Gate of All Saints

I've passed this way many times, but never noticed the imposing script until last night. 97th and Broadway, the entrance to Central Park.

A mom and pop sandwich shop in Roxbury. Closed. Who needs the tender care of a family joint when Micky Ds is around the corner?

classic signage in midtown

After searching high and low I finally found this 30s era sign on 8th and 48th street. It's two signs in one, for cigars and rooms. Housekeeping. Gotta love it. This is truly one of the last remaining vestiges of old New York in midtown, as buildings fall (including the one next to this soon) and developers continue to run amok. So eye this closely, soon it will be gone.

the beaver pelt trade

Astor Place station was built under what had been private property along the west side of Astor Place, which was planned to be a transfer point for the 9th Street branch of the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad (today's PATH). It lies below the former Wannamakers, currently K Mart. The station's decoration includes plaques depicting beavers, in honor of John Jacob Astor, who had made his fortune in the beaver pelt trade.

from 1898

Doorway of the former Germania Bank at 190 Bowery, built in 1898. Since 1966, it’s been home to photographer Jay Maisel. A final outpost of grandeur on the Bowery.
