I think this is a fantastic porcelain neon sign. I once stopped in and tried the food, but I personally did not think it was very good. I may not be an expert on food, but when it comes to old signs, I do know my stuff…

Photographing NYC for 25 years, six of them while driving a New York City taxi. Trying very hard to capture the city as life unfolds, meaning I never stage any of my photos! Also I am a close confidant of the immortal Dave Beckerman, (quintessential NYC photographer) and owner of the first photography blog in the known universe.

  4. Yes Michael, That was where I took this picture. I tried an order of ribs because the place had a good rep, but I remember being very disappointed…Same thing happened a few years ago in Little Rock. The famous place sucked…Oh well.

  5. I used to live a block away from there. The joke in the neighborhood was Sherman’s hadn’t changed their grease in twenty years. I recall my mother insisting that we never eat their. I loved that sign though.
