A New York Block


This is in Astoria. Now that, to me, is how an outer borough block should look (aside from the Sprint awfulness). A variety of heights, a plethora of indy businesses, lots of visual variety, plenty of frontage quirks, splashes of stylish neon and groovy font, and all of it low slung. Tasty. Homey. Authentic. Right.

  1. Take a walk up Steinway st ...lots of indies, and much garish signage

  2. Why restrict to "outer borough"? There was a day when one could hope for Manhattan blocks to look like that.

  3. Every neighborhood needs a little technology.
