Smith’s Bar in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood near Times Square has been in business since 1954.

Although this old Irish ☘️ pub which closed briefly in late 2014 before a new owner (actress Hayden Pannetire’s father)  took over the former dive bar and renovated it, he thankfully kept and restored the original #neon signage.  

This photo of the original #storefront was taken in 2004 and appears in our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York”.
