Restaurants on Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, October 25, 1959. The buildings at left (Sherry's Cross Roads, Esquire Cafe) have been replaced. Albergo's restaurant has since closed at No. 63 Lafayette, but in 2017 another Italian eatery has taken its place.

Story
Storefront signage is a ubiquitous feature on New York City streets. Today, signs can barely seem worth noticing, the well-known fonts and logos blending into the scenery. But when the streets of New York were lined with mom and pop shops, the design of signs (through fonts, images, and use of space) often allowed these individual stores to stand out. The diversity of signage is especially eye-catching in historical photographs.
