George's Coney Island

George's Coney Island in Worcester, MA has been serving hot dogs since 1918. It started out as a small lunch counter and was renovated by George and Catherine Tsagarelis in 1938 in an art #artdeco style complete with wooden booths, tile floor and long lunch counter. Its Romanoff-designed enormous iconic #neon #sign is 60 feet tall and was installed in 1940. George came up with the idea for the sign and held up a #hotdog dripping with #mustard and had someone take a photo of it to be used as a model for the #neonsign maker. They specialize in hot dogs with their famous secret #chili sauce, yellow mustard and chopped onions. #signgeeks #neongeeks #coneyisland #vintage #ipullledoverforthis #coneys #frankfurter #typography #fontastic #trb_ipoft_signs
