Carmine’s Original Pizza 🍕 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Carmine’s Original Pizza 🍕 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. People always ask us what our favorite storefront photos we have taken are and we always respond that it’s a difficult question to answer as we have spent so many hours not only photographing thousands of mom-and-pop shops but also spending time with the owners conducting interviews to find out the history of their business as well as unique stories they share with us.
We photographed Carmine’s in 2009 for our book “Store Front NYC”. We miss Carmine and his delicious and affordable pizza 🍕 !

Peter McManus Cafe was established in 1936
Peter McManus Cafe was established in 1936 and has the distinction of being the oldest bar in New York City which has been in continuous ownership by the same family since its founding. This historic Irish bar is located on the corner of 7th Ave & 19th Street in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.

One of the many unique features of Peter McManus Cafe is that it has stained-glass windows in its facade which were made by the famous Tiffany company in NYC and also has Tiffany stained-glass behind the bar. It is also one of the few bars in NYC with two original phone booths.

Peter McManus Cafe is one of the many bars which we feature in our book “Great Bars of New York City” which is available at your local bookseller & online. Its memorable interior has also served as a beloved shooting location for numerous films.
