We loved its #vintage #handpainted privilege #sign provided by Optimo #Cigars. You can get an idea of how old this photo is by looking at the price of a #cigarette box advertised on the #storefront facade. We used to see many stores with privilege signs (signs provided free of charge by a company in exchange for selling and advertising g their product) with the most common ones provided by Coca-Cola but as stores get modernized or go out of business the #signage is replaced. #typography #signgeeks #font #signgeeks #type #cigar #luncheonette #queenscapes #queens

Lexington Candy Shop Luncheonette, NYC - over 50 years old and owned by the same family. Honorable Mention 2023 - 20th Julia Margaret Cameron awards
Pittsburgh is a city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States, and is the county seat of Allegheny County. As of 2017, a population of 305,704 lives within the city limits, making it the 63rd-largest city in the U.S. The metropolitan population of 2,353,045 is the largest in both the Ohio Valley and Appalachia, the second-largest in Pennsylvania (behind Philadelphia), and the 26th-largest in the U.S.
Pittsburgh is located in the south west of the state, at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers, Pittsburgh is known both as "the Steel City" for its more than 300 steel-related businesses and as the "City of Bridges" for its 446 bridges. The city features 30 skyscrapers, two inclined railways, a pre-revolutionary fortification and the Point State Park at the confluence of the rivers. The city developed as a vital link of the Atlantic coast and Midwest, as the mineral-rich Allegheny Mountains made the area coveted by the French and British empires, Virginians, Whiskey Rebels, and Civil War raiders.
Aside from steel, Pittsburgh has led in manufacturing of aluminum, glass, shipbuilding, petroleum, foods, sports, transportation, computing, autos, and electronics. For part of the 20th century, Pittsburgh was behind only New York and Chicago in corporate headquarters employment; it had the most U.S. stockholders per capita. America's 1980s deindustrialization laid off area blue-collar workers and thousands of downtown white-collar workers when the longtime Pittsburgh-based world headquarters moved out. This heritage left the area with renowned museums, medical centers, parks, research centers, and a diverse cultural district.
Today, Google, Apple Inc., Bosch, Facebook, Uber, Nokia, Autodesk, Microsoft and IBM are among 1,600 technology firms generating $20.7 billion in annual Pittsburgh payrolls. The area has served as the long-time federal agency headquarters for cyber defense, software engineering, robotics, energy research and the nuclear navy. The area is home to 68 colleges and universities, including research and development leaders Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. The nation's eighth-largest bank, eight Fortune 500 companies, and six of the top 300 U.S. law firms make their global headquarters in the area, while RAND, BNY Mellon, Nova, FedEx, Bayer and NIOSH have regional bases that helped Pittsburgh become the sixth-best area for U.S. job growth.
In 2015, Pittsburgh was listed among the "eleven most livable cities in the world"; The Economist's Global Liveability Ranking placed Pittsburgh as the first- or second-most livable city in the United States in 2005, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014. The region is a hub for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and energy extraction.
In 2019, Pittsburgh was deemed “Food City of the Year” by the San Francisco-based restaurant and hospitality consulting firm af&co. Many restaurants were mentioned favorable, among them were Superior Motors in Braddock, Driftwood Oven in Lawrenceville, Spork in Bloomfield, Fish nor Fowl in Garfield and Bitter Ends Garden & Luncheonette in Bloomfield.

Underneath the Ben Franklin Bridge on the new Race Street Pier (which is lovely). Philadelphia. Yesterday with Therese, who wins the prize for traveling the furthest to see my show (all the way from the Bay area, California). Her reward? Real pierogies and other Polish delicacies at a luncheonette in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philly, for one. :)
It was the era when kids on our block were going gaga over Tootsie Roll pops. But, most of them were too young to walk to the luncheonette/candy store around the corner. So, being older, at six, I volunteered to be their emissary and buy the pops on their behalf. I felt that I could make money on this mission too. At the shop, I paid for five tootsie roll pops, each costing two cents. Then, I returned to the kids around the corner and charged them each two cents a pop because, I thought, that’s fair, right?!?! Five happy customers. But, then I realized I had not made a profit. So, what was up with that? That night, I asked my dad, a retailer, how his store turns a profit. He explained that I needed to charge a premium for the effort I made to collect and deliver said goods - the tootsie roll pops - from the store to the kids. Charging the kids three cents a pop and keeping the extra penny for myself would be fair and yield a small profit. And that was my first lesson in accounting!

The Sanchez Luncheonette, 38-01 Vernon Boulevard, Queens, New York. Alas, Google and Yelp list this breakfast/lunch spot as having permanently closed.
I was thrilled to join a friend and his family at Gale's today. This tiny diner is reputed to be the cheapest eats in Toronto. Prices on the menu have not changed in decades, lunch for four was just over $10. The service was friendly and the food was good. The place was full almost the entire time we were there.
From The Toronto Star: "Besides being a contender for the title of Toronto's cheapest luncheonette, Gale's Snack Bar is also one of the oldest and tiniest. The eatery has been slinging diner staples at Eastern and Carlaw Aves. in Toronto for 80 years. It has been decades since there have been renovations at Gale's, and years since the menu prices were raised. "My father has always wanted our prices to be low so that people can afford the food," explains Eda Chan, daughter of owner David Chan. Eda and David have operated Gale's Snack Bar for 35 years, but never bothered to change the restaurant's name."

From the archives: an image from my trip to New York with Kathy in spring 2004. We stopped one afternoon at this lunch counter on Lexington Avenue. I don't even remember what we talked about. I just remember that everything was wonderful -- the food and the conversation and the way it all felt.
In the south, they call those colorful things sprinkles. In the north, they call them jimmies.
For everyone who has not yet watched our latest YouTube video Episode 3: Lower East Side - Then and Now, please check it out as we visit independently-owned shops in the neighborhood and also remember ones that have sadly disappeared including Cup & Saucer. •
This 1940s era #Luncheonette complete with its original lunch counter and stainless stools was forced to close in 2017 after their rent was greatly increased from $8,200 a month to $15,800. We were so saddened by the loss of Cup & Saucer ☕️that we decided to raise awareness of its importance to the community by installing our near life-size photo of the Luncheonette in our @momandpopsles art installation inside Seward Park, which you can see until the end of June 2019.
•
There are four different neighborhood stores represented in the rectangular wood-frame installation and we are currently trying to find a new home for all of them. We are willing for each business represented to go to a separate home...Cup & Saucer is printed on two 4 ft x 8 ft Dibond aluminum composite panels (total dimension of 8 ft x 8 ft) so if you are interested in obtaining the panels and installing them in your business/home or exterior location as they are weather-proof please DM or email us for specifics. •

No hike is complete without stopping for a bite afterward, This time we stopped here, at Dad's. The owner was chef at a 3 star Michelin restaurant before deciding to open this tiny operation, enabling him to spend more time with his family. The menu is limited, but the selections are interesting. And tasty. If you're in the area it is worth stopping in for lunch.

CUP & SAUCER on Canal Street at Eldridge Street on the Lower East Side was founded in 1940 as a Jewish #luncheonette complete with a lunch counter and stools as well as a small seating area. Inlaid on the terrazzo floor is a gold cup and saucer. It has been co-owned by John Vasilopoulos and Nick Castanos since 1988. Photo from 2009 and full interview (excerpt seen below) from our new book "STORE FRONT II - A History Preserved" . "We took over this luncheonette from the second owner in 1988, but we haven’t really changed a thing about it. We have the same interior and the same original #signage from the Coca-Cola Company. As long as the bolts holding our sign in place hang on, we plan to keep it."Cup & Saucer was founded when this area was the center of the Jewish-owned jewelry trade. Now most of the #Jewish jewelry places have closed and moved to the midtown Diamond District and Chinese-owned stores have moved into the neighborhood. So we lost most of our old-time customer base and corporate accounts. Years back, we had our regular clientele who didn’t even have to place an order, we would just see them walk in and start cooking their food and pouring their coffee for them. Our menu, however, has stayed the same with#eggs in the morning and #hamburgersand simple sandwiches for lunch."
John Vasilopoulos, co-owner
John told us recently that the building they are located was just sold to new owners and he expects the rent to double. Go in there now and grab a breakfast special of two eggs any style with #potatoes, toast and coffee, tea or juice for only $5.00 #Our visit to Cup & Saucer was featured in Metro.

We always love finding old Coca-Cola #signage as it takes us right back to the time when the company gave these signs away for free to businesses that sold their product. All the small businesses had to do was add their own copy, usually in the form of enamel #lettering that was also supplied by #cocacola. #signgeeks #tv_retrotype #jj_texttypographical #signcollective #typevstime #ipulledoverforthis #gas_food_lodging #trb_ipoft_signs #guardiancities #storefront #disappearingfaceofnewyork #vintage #signsofgrime #myfeatureshoot #filthyfacades
