Parkside Lounge in the Lower East Side

Parkside Lounge in the Lower East Side has been in business since 1956. Before it was a ‪#‎bar‬ it operates as an icehouse. The bartender, Tom told us that "there even was a tunnel downstairs that used to run all the way to the river so that ice from the river could easily be transported into the house. We love the ‪#‎vintage‬ ‪#‎neon‬ ‪#‎signage‬ which you can see all the way down Houston Street. Photo and full interview appear in our book "New York Nights". ‪#‎storefront‬ ‪#‎neonsign‬ ‪#‎neongeeks‬ ‪#‎signgeeks‬ ‪#‎type‬ ‪#‎typography‬
