Vintage neon signs

I don't think we've seen this version of our friend the pizza chef before and with some good looking pizza dough flipping action:

I like the straight-fowaredness of this one -no light touch, just a command: Eat More Pizza. Basically, one of the tenets I've lived my life by:

I've been in one. They are gorgeous inside and out. And, for the day, ride like a cloud.

There's a good simplicity - almost elegance - here, like the brand tried to reflect in its day:

And all sorts of over-the-topness here:

Now I want a pastrami sandwich.

That said, I have had pastrami many times in NYC, and it has not, and maybe cannot, be reproduced where I live. There are some good places here that do their own curing, but nothing like what I've had in NYC. Care to comment @fadingfast ? I'd be curious to know your thoughts.

I have been told the same thing my entire life - "the best pastrami and corn beef sandwiches are in NY." And the ones in NYC are definitely better than the ones I had in NJ growing up. They are so much better, that I've never tried them anywhere else. When I travel, I usually try to have whatever the area I'm in is known for. Hence, oddly, I really can't argue from experience (other than NY vs NJ).

I think this is overreaching / the house is too much. That said, you automatically get a minimum of a "C" just for putting a martini glass in your bar (or any) sign.
