R&R Self Service was a classic bodega in Brooklyn, NY

We have photographed so many great examples of shops with vintage privilege signs and this one with its timeworn facade is definitely a favorite of ours. R&R Self Service was a classic bodega in Brooklyn which not only had a wonderful Coca-Cola privilege sign but also had a great set of multi-colored chaser lights along the trim of its metal awning. 

Sadly “R&R Self Service” Deli Grocery closed in 2012 when the building was sold to a developer who modernized and expanded the storefront and the apartments above it. Our 35mm film photo of R&R appears on our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York”.
