One of the old book jackets lining the walls of Chumley's. Eternal Shame on Bloomberg, the City Fathers, and the powers that be that this cultural landmark has STILL not been saved and reopened.
The late, great McHale's, the death of which inspired the birth of this blog.
The original, running Jeremiad on the vestiges of Old New York as they are steamrolled under or threatened by the currently ruthless real estate market and the City Fathers' disregard for Gotham's historical and cultural fabric. Est. January 2006.

I'm gonna guess...Williamsburg. I want to say Carroll Gardens, because I saw your pic on GL for the Street Couch series, but Hebraic lettering like that is soooooo not CG, so I'm going with Williamsburg.
if I'm right, do I win anything?
Lower East Side, actually, Erica. Sorry. Guess it wasn't as obvious as I thought.
If that's supposed to be Hebrew, wouldn't the date put the construction as some time just before the Great Flood?
