The Alias Restaurant, on the Lower East Side

Photo by myself at Clinton and Rivington Streets on the Lower East Side.

A photo of the sign at the Alias restaurant. The colors were very pretty against the cloudless sky.

You can see the usual blur of fire escapes on the outside of neighboring buildings. In the glass is the reflection of tenement buildings across the street.

The Lower East Side is known for older walk-up buildings and some signage from the 1930's. It's one of the few neighborhoods to resist re-development.
