Coffee shop, Union Square by soboy5

Coffee shop, Union Square

I liked this old coffee shop neon sign, circa early 1960's, located in Union Square. It reminded me of how NYC looked when I was growing up. A nice art deco architectural detail, one of many thousands in Manhattan.
Great colours and textures, nice find!

Love this, a shot of it lit up at night would have been great, too!

@kellc Thanks, Kelly!
@asutherland1964 Thanks, Andrew! I don;t know why I did not think of taking this as a night shot - but your suggestion gives me a great reason to return to Manhattan!

A great shot. I just posted somewhere else how much I love these signs. My Fav is the Radio City sign...if you are ever passing by.

@seanoneill Thanks, Sean. I love the Radio Music City sign also - my mom used to take my sister and I there when we were kids in the 1960's. I wish you had made this request two weeks ago - I took one image of the Radio Music City sign but was not happy with it at all, the street was very crowded and I just could not get a good pov. I got so frustrated with my inability to process it that I deleted it!

@soboy5 Oh man. I have some old B+W shots from there when we visited in the mid 90s. I may have to dig them out...

The ad man or graphic designer whowho came up with this sign was very good at his or her job! Too bad he or she may never know how lasting an impression was left!
