Upper East Side Neon
New York, NY - GGP - Tuesday, November 29th, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Everytime I go to the upper east side, I hope and pray this place will still be there. I confess that I have never had a soda, a float, a milkshake, candy, lunch, or anything else in there, even though I grew up just blocks away. But the magic of this storefront, which has been there since 1925, is more potent than any temporal sugar infusion. It reeks of time.

Tasty. Typefaces, neon and the promise of sugar, all rolled into one.

Haha- this one too. I love the little paper triangle cups that the water comes in. They then put them in little metal cup holders. It's great. The prices aren't vintage, though :(
elaine: it makes me think the lunches should be tiny
Peter: so... did you go in this time, ggp?

Where exactly is this sugar-mecca? I may go and press my nose against the glass.

Makes me think about script....probably old-fashioned in its own right. Maybe it said "classy" once? Not block letters?
