The Most Egotistical Sign in New York City?
I challenge you to find worse:
My favorite:
Put in all the cutesy fonts you want, this still feels like the least wholesome ice cream parlor on the planet.

The Last Two L-Shaped Streets in Manhattan
When driving in Manhattan, I love taking a random turn and finding myself on a curved street. While commonplace pretty much anywhere else, crooked streets are incredibly rare in Manhattan. There are certainly avenues and streets with gradual curves, but when it comes to sharp angles – the kind that require you to really twist…
The Spaceship Church In Queens
Seeing the blue onion dome from a distance, you’d probably assume St. Nicholas to be your typical Russian church. But take a drive down Clintoneville Ave, and you’ll realize the truth… Someone has landed a spaceship in Queens and disguised it as a Russian Orthodox church.

A 19th Century Candy Store Hidden Near Wall Street
Last week, I wrote about a World War I fighter plane on the roof of 77 Water Street. As it turns out, that’s just one of many surprises to be found around the building! As I was waiting for my appointment to check out the plane, I took a few pictures outside the building from…

no trump mortuary?
Oh, but just think about how much branding work went into each treatment of the TRUMP name!
How about the beginning of an Eddie Murphy film, that pretty bad too.
He won’t be trumped!

As of today (5/25/10), his face is on Snapple bottles. Snapple is across the street from my office in the Flatiron Building, giving away bottles of a new iced tea that was created by one of the contestants on Celebrity Apprentice.

Great blog, BTW!
I can’t help but think of his heinous hair-piece when I see those curly tops to the “T’s”…
