RIP Hinsch’s Confectioneryon 5th Avenue between 85th & 86th Streets in Bay Ridge, Broo
RIP Hinsch’s Confectioneryon 5th Avenue between 85th & 86th Streets in Bay Ridge, BrooklynI really thought that one of the most beautiful neon signs in New York would find a way to hang on, but judging from the article in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, it’s already long gone, to make way for a crappy plastic chain-issued sign. Another piece of unique New York in the dustbin of history, or, I hope, at least in some collector’s warehouse somewhere (anyone have any idea where it ended up?) Hinsch’s is now a Stewarts, the classic neon is gone, and New York is a little darker. Farewell, Hinsch’s, you will be missed. I’m glad I got a chance to know you a bit before you vanished. -- source link
