Ravioli Fair, Bath Beach, Brooklyn

Ravioli Fair in Bath Beach, Brooklyn was established in 1978. It specializes in #Italian 🇮🇹 goods including homemade #ravioli and tortellini and also sells meat and pork 🐖 products. We love its colorful #signage with its unique #font. #storefront

Lafayette Avenue Meat Corp., Fort Greene, Brooklyn

Lafayette Avenue Meat Corp. in Fort Greene, Brooklyn has a great #handpainted #sign with #script lettering. Even though the #storefront functions more as a #deli rather than a butcher shop, we were happy that they kept the #vintage signage.

Loft's Candies, Financial District, NYC.

Loft's Candies #vintage #neonsign with block and #script metal channel lettering uncovered on Nassau Street in the Financial District. Hidden underneath a vinyl awning for years, this #neon beauty was recently uncovered when the #storefront was leased by Two Boots Pizza @twobootspizza who hired our friend @steveespopowers to create a new #sign for the store. Instead of just removing the #signage, the good news is that Two Boots will be restoring the sign! @steveespopowers convinced them to restore it with the help of @lettherebeneon. We love when we hear that a new tenant appreciates the history of a store and its signage. In this case, the Loft's sign features the #candy store's mid century logotype.
