Until just a few years ago the east side of Third Avenue between 109th and 110th Streets had a wall of buildings with the same look. The largest of the buildings, which stretched almost half the block, was demolished 4-5 years ago. The first floor of the building on the corner has been boarded up ever since, but it is not clear if the apartments above are empty.
Claudio's Barbershop has been in business in East Harlem since 1950. Claudio, who comes from a family of barbers in Italy, began cutting hair when he was only 14 years old. When he immigrated to Harlem from Italy, the neighborhood had such a large Italian population east of Lexington Avenue that it became known as "Italian Harlem". Over the years, Claudio learned to speak Spanish, as the neighborhood changed demographics. He still charges only $10 for a haircut.
I saw this sign this afternoon on an industrial building on 119th Street east of Pleasant Ave. When I got home I looked up "John Rosselli" to see if I could find something out about the business.
Mr. Rosselli is a well known dealer of high end antiques. This East Harlem building houses his warehouse and restoration shop. His store on the Upper East Side opened in 1955 and closed in 2020.
That article about the closure mentions that Rosselli was 88 years old in 2020, which means his warehouse opened two years before he was born. Impressive! Google Street View shows that the sign was installed sometime between April 2009 and August 2011.

Liquor store sign on First Avenue in East Harlem. The sign was working and there was a liquor store at the location as recently as 2015 but the liquor store is gone now.
It was a remarkable coincidence that I walked by the sign at exactly the same time almost three years ago.
In East Harlem, where I live, this Wednesday after the storm was pretty much a normal day.

'This is a mural I created last year in New York City with my friends Celso González and Roberto Biaggi from CERO Design out of Puerto Rico. The title of the mural, "El Regalo Mágico/The Magic Gift", refers to the gift of inspiration. The figure is based on my photos of respected Nuyorican author Nicholasa Mohr, who lives nearby, and is known for being one of the first widely published Latina authors in the United States.'-El Mac..

"Fish Market" (1947), by 20th century American visual artist Alice Neel (1900-1984), is a portrait of the indoor market 'La Marqueta' in Spanish (East) Harlem, New York City that still stands today. The market is located under the elevated train tracks on Park Avenue by 116th Street that used to be the food hub for 'El Barrio'. There used to be hundreds of vendors present but only about a dozen can be found today because the purchasing patterns of the neighborhood have drastically shifted.
This original Neel painting was seen and photographed at an exhibit of her work entitled 'Alice Neel: People Come First' at the de Young Fine Arts Museum (FAMSF) in San Francisco, California.
