Signs of the times
An ode to the denture, Henry Street
Hand-lettered sign. Believe it or not, this place is right next door to the Pretty Young Pimp store, South Willamsburg
Wooden letters and late afternoon light, South Williamsburg
Manhole cover designed by Lawrence Weiner, Union Square
Some sort of private, members only club. Oh, all the velvet ropes of Beacon, NY!
My latest obsession: hand-lettered signs. Charming, but would you trust your finest suit to a tailor whose letter design looks like this? Ludlow Street
Sneaky wheatpaste in Chinatown: two mushrooms in love, Good Value!

Nom Wah Tea Parlor
Nom Wah Tea Parlor is downtown on Doyers Street, but don't let the sign fool you, it's really a dim sum den. Great signage, typography, and use of the word "parlor."
