Hot signs in the city

One thing that always catches my eye is a unique sign. I saw a lot of them in New York City last weekend. My favorite was this one, at the Spice Market Restaurant.

Some day, I’m going to have a meal there. I hear it’s quite good.

I liked the font on this French country shoppe. And the cool ironwork out front.

Nobody seems to know what goes on here. Or what used to go on here. The world may never know.

It’s what’s for dinner. (Located down the street from [this place]).

The Wicked ad along the High Line is very noticeable.

Leonard Nimoy stars as Beethoven, among other things along this old storefront.

Too cha cha for words (my friend Margie’s favorite expression).

There are no words for this, however.

That was fun. Hope you enjoyed the little tour with me!

Until tomorrow, my friends . . .

  22. I'm so glad you're all enjoying something different that I'm offering. I like to mix things up a little bit.
    Welcome to Maggie May and glad to see you all today.

    And Daryl, I don't know what's wrong with me. I didn't know that was what they were.
