Where is it?Detail No. 3
Is it coming clear yet? Can you guess where this neon can be found (business name & borough)? (I can’t get the Tumblr answers thing to work, so you can use the comments below or email me at heyprojectneon at gmail.) The first person who looked at this in Flickr *may* have noticed a tag or two that gave it away before I deleted them — I’m still getting the hang of Lightroom!
This photo gives you some context for the two previous details. Tomorrow I’ll post an image that’s even more distinctive, though this seems to be the only neon Greek key pattern I’ve photographed (though I thought I had seen one before… can’t seem to find it). Anyone know of others?
While you’re mulling over this neonerific location, here’s some miscellaneous neon news, some of which I’ve already posted to Twitter:
• Manganaro’s has closed. I’m gonna miss that giant blinking sign, as well as the amazing place below it.
• Hinsch’s is once again for sale. Someone needs to give me all the money so I can buy it.
• Neon art in Paris. Thanks Rob B.
• Tomorrow night I’ll be at Urban Omnibus’ art auction, and I’ve donated a limited edition print of Hinsch’s.
• Did you notice that the Project Neon Flickr set has passed 1,000 photos? That’s a lot of neon! I’d guess that’s around 750 to 800 separate places though, alas, I have not been keeping track of that.
OK, that’s all the news for now. Back to the game: can you name this neon?

About Project Neon

Follow a girl as she follows the glow in search of New York's best neon signs. Every week I'll visit another one of New York City's neon-clad establishments and post a photo & story, and tell you more about why I'm traipsing around this metropolis in the cold & dark to visit pharmacies, shoe repair stores, and bars with good neon signs to buy cough syrup, get my shoes repaired or have a drink.
