Shot with a cheap Canon film camera..."Old Fashion Donuts," "Follies Lounge Live Nude Revue!!" "VIP Area," "Tad's Steaks," a couple ancient theater facades, including the DeMille. 18 years later it's all covered all demolished, though Tad's survives. Kudos to Viva.

donuts between movies and smut. sounds about right.
Awww, you should post a pic from now...though it might not make you feel any better.
Amazing how much its changed in only 10 or 11 years.
Its a shame this photo is all that remains of them.
Live Nude Revue? Wow! Sounds like a really classy show!! :-)
mmm...nice one
I like the idea you could grab a soft warm donut and head into the cheesy girly flicks or shows or .....
Sad really.

Right. I'd like to see what it looks like today. I remember this street and Tad's. Used to go to concerts at Town Hall nearby (43rd?).
So what's happened to the street since? Lemme guess. A 60-storey office block that looks like it was rolled out of a stamping press.
Love this photo! Very much NY!
Have a nice weekend!
Now only the daring tourists can take home a giant dildo as a souvenir of their visit to NYC. They might have to venture to Sunset Park.
No, no, no. Remember? They need only take the Sex and the City tour to get the group trip into the little Pleasure Chest store down near St. Vincent's.
Thanks Joy.
I feel better knowing the good stuff is safe from the tourists. ;)
You said "History"...How does it look like now?? More in glass or....
I also wonder what is there now.
Looks great but a little old fashioned. My how quickly fashion changes. Is it all glass and neon now?
thanks the heads up...man, there is nothing left
Looks more like they just stuck new facades on the buildings. What a jumble. I wonder if anyone even notices all the signage.
Thanks for posting the current view.
Thanks for the heads up Ken. Nice work.

Here's a story to warm your heart. A NY diner is being moved to Birmingham and being saved from the wrecking ball!!!! Now you will have to come for a visit!

Unrecognizable. UGH.
Thanks for posting that current view, because I've lived here only 14 years and worked in TSQ for some of it, and *I* didn't recognize the block. Even with the crosstreets listed.
Tragic.
Wow, what a change!Typical NY scene in the 2nd pic!
Wow! What a change. Thanks for putting in the now picture.
Its great to see the follow up photo. Thanks :)
Thanks for posting this. The old photo is amazing, and I'm glad I got to see that era of NYC before it was erased. HOWEVER, your comparison is INCORRECT. THESE PHOTOS WERE NOT TAKEN FROM THE SAME VANTAGE POINT. The old photo is 49th St. and 7th Avenue. The bottom photo at Broadway and 49th is correct. At least one of the facades in the old photo still exist. The Embassy Theater facade (which was the originally the Mayfair Theater in th 30s and 40s) still remains. It was recently renovated and turned into a NY souvenir tourist trap store. Go up there and check it out. You can still see the arched windows that are above the maquee. I believe the building where the porn theater was also remains but it is now something else.
Viva, thanks for that correction. Everything is so different now, the only thing I could find to use as a bearing point was the background skyscraper. But I will go up tomorrow and take a corrected shot. Thanks! watch this space..more to come..
wow! what a blast. i'd almost forgotten. thank you.
Live Nude Revue for only 25 cents. What a deal. Wonder what the dead ones cost.
I miss Old Fashion Donuts. Here and at 86th & Lex. Damn good donuts & coffee
Wow... Tad's Steaks lives on!
I'm loving the retrospectives mixed in with the current views.

[b]Description[/b]
Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also [url=http://twitter.com/tlkzfdn]Cheap Viagra 25mg[/url] you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://wumenalu.freehostia.com]Best Price 100mg Viagra[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
