Photo by myself on 14th Street and Second Avenue, in the East Village.
The Beauty Bar enjoyed popularity back in the day when many bars had different 'themes'. The vintage sign and storefront make a distinctive impression.
Mark and I were surprised this bar was still open, when we walked by, Sunday afternoon. There was a Halloween display in the cool front window. My memories of this place are extremely hazy.
Fortunately, I see these periods as more positive rather than negative. These days are not easy, but to me, they are periods of growth. At least, that's what I tell myself.
Anyway, please bear with me. Happy Monday, everyone!

Great image, love street photography and NYC with its endless possibilities!
The beauty Bar must be doing something right or else they would have been long gone.
When it come to photography I've had those low points before. The best thing about them is they will pass.
I agree with you, & I also think it's inevitable to go through these difficult periods in creating art. I just hope you know this is a GREAT shot.
The black and white of this image plus the shot itself made it feel vintage, from the '60s maybe. Not a given just because of black and white, but this shot just brought it all together.
Great shot! I will look for this place.
The beauty bar seems a great one. I will love to visit this place .
