I absolutely adore that last photo: the reflection of the sun off the windows of the building on the left with the blues and purples of the sky juxtaposed with the the smokestack and lingering smoke. What a lovely time and place to make out!

Located in the heart of the fabulous theatre district * Telephone JUdson 2-0300. HOME OF THE FAMOUS PLAYBILL RESTAURANT.

the M inthe first photo is the old manhattan hotel. there were many great dances there in the 50's and 60's. it eventually changed to the milford plaza where i worked for awhile as concierge. the original mama leone's moved from 48th street and 8th avenue to get closer to the theatre district. it settled in the milford plaza. 8th avenue housed the madison square garden in my time at 48th street. it was a raunchy area in the 60's but rudy changed it all. nice photos.

the colors on that vent thing in the last one are spectacular. i don't think i've met a metal object in real life that weathered that beautifully.
