Broadway Wines & Liquorsin Astoria, Queens on Broadway between Steinway & 38th Stree
Broadway Wines & Liquorsin Astoria, Queens on Broadway between Steinway & 38th Streets OK this isn’t a great photo, but when I visited Broadway Wines & Liquors last weekend it was daytime and I didn’t have a camera with me. I did, however, acquire a good bottle of port while I was there — the most important ingredient in my turkey broth after the carcass itself. Actually, the most important ingredient in most of the things I cook in the winter. I’m currently trying to work out how to make port ice cream, though it’s a bit complicated since port doesn’t freeze well. I do love this sign, though — the little red dot is a great counterpoint to the larger green letters. The lettering itself is fantastic: the greek E, the straight lines on the sides of the O and R, and the Q is perfection with its demure little tail. The small twist at the bottom of the O where the line of neon switches from outside to inside is another nice touch. When the weather warms up a bit, I’ll aim to head back out to Astoria to take another shot at this photo. On the way there I walked past Rizzo’s Pizza, which also has a great neon sign: I’m trying to catch up with a lot of Project Neon miscellany, so hopefully you’ll see more posts here, on Facebook, and on Twitter over the next couple of weeks. -- source link
