We are continuing our weekly highlight of the many fabulous storefronts which we have photographed over the years which have privilege signs. Tony’s Luncheonette located on New Utrecht Avenue in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn had a great Coca-Cola privilege sign with green porcelain enamel lettering.
When we photographed Tony’s in 2005 for our book, “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York” we also interviewed the owner, Anthonio Lombardo, who told us that he had purchased the coffee shop in 1972 and that the interior including its circular wrap-around lunch counter was original and was installed in the 1950s. Sadly, this old-school gem closed in 2013 and we are not sure what happened to the gorgeous signage.
