"Now and then, the lost artifacts of vanished New York will resurface. I heard from a painter who recently moved his studio into a former woodshop's space in the East Village. In the backyard, under piles of junk, he unearthed the double-sided neon sign of the old Second Avenue Deli. Opened in 1954, the deli (and the sign) stood on the southeast corner of Second Avenue and East 10th Street until 2006, when it closed due to a rent dispute with the building's new owner. ... As I wrote in my book, Vanishing New York, 'Today, the Second Avenue Deli’s Yiddish Walk of Fame remains, out of context and rapidly fading.' ..."
