El Quijote has been in business since 1930

This #Spanish cuisine restaurant is actually located inside the historic Chelsea Hotel. The #ChelseaHotel which was built in the 1880s has a landmarked exterior of Queen Anne architecture with a red brick face and black cast-iron balconies.

Photo from 2010 and interview with the 2nd-generation owner of El Quijote appears in our book "New York Nights". #storefront #neon #neonsign
