Neon!

Oh yeah baby! So many cool ampersands within just a block of each other. Taken both in the evening and back out again the next morning, most of these neon ampersands were found along 3rd Ave near E. 89th St. in New York City. They mostly represented food items and were glorious in the evening and charming in the morning light.


Starting with a yellow neon ampersand which was amazingly on the same sign as...

... a red LED ampersand!! Both on the same sign (see below) in the window of a deli.

This sign is in a deli window at what we think of as the nexus of the ampersand universe, E. 89th and 3rd Ave. This shop also had a few different ampersands on it's awning alone and sported even more painted on it's window. We were in ampersand paradise.

Down 3rd Ave just a few blocks from the deli was a seafood shop and a lovely blue neon ampersand.

Currently the last in our upper east side neon ampersands (I know of another pink one I was too tired to photograph). This blue neon ampersand is also on 3rd Ave between 88th and 89th. Amazing.
