Wishing every mother (human and pet 🐾🐾 parent) a very happy Mother’s Day!

#MothersDay is the #1 busiest day for florists 💐🌷🌹🌸so we are celebrating with our photo of Olympia Florist in Upper Manhattan. We love this #florist shop’s #vintage #neon sign. Photo from 2004 appears in our book “Store Front:The Disappearing Face of New York”.

Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop was established in 1929 by Carl Eisenberg

After being a customer for 15 years, the second owner, Josh Konecky took over the shop in 2006 and didn't change a thing. Sadly, Josh just announced that he has sold the business to new owners! We hope that they maintain its #vintage interior, which is set up as a lunch counter restaurant with steel #diner stools and wood paneling. We also hope the new owners continue to serve breakfast items 🍳 and sandwiches 🍞 that are all made to order.

Photos from our visit to the director of development for the Anti-Defamation League Erica Greenblatt's apartment for 6sqft...

Erica Greenblatt never seems to stay in one place for long. In addition to her love of travel (she has visited 30 countries across 6 continents so far), she has moved 12 times in the last 14 years all over New York City. Most recently, Erica landed on a surprisingly spacious Turtle Bay studio on 54th Street and 2nd Avenue, her first apartment without any roommates. As the director of development for the Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights organization tasked with fighting bigotry, Erica raises funds needed for the group’s education and advocacy programs.
