Clic Bookstore & Gallery in NYC is one of my favorite spots to stop by when in NYC. I completely lose track of time looking at the exhibits and flipping through their gorgeous books.
One show that really made a lasting impact on me was James and Karla Murray's, entitled "Storefront." It featured old neon signs from around the city. For some reason, I've always been slightly obsessed with these signs, and the book accompanying the exhibit is amazing.

I love when people post about spots in New York City that I can check out. Thank you so much! Sometimes Tourists experience our little city way better than us who have lived here forever.
I always find it really interesting looking at shop fronts - they're all so different!
And thanks for sharing about the bookstore, will have to keep in mind for when I go to NYC

Love the looks of these signs, so nostalgic and cool! Also love the look of your blog! :)
I'm DYING to visit clic! especially after finding out that it was started by Christiane Celle after she sold Calypso. I admire her so much : )

This makes me want to visit NYC so bad! I'll get there one day :) Great post! xx
These signs are so great, I especially love that little almost dangling P on the barbershop! It gives it such a sweet authenticity. I'll have to put Clic on our list of things to do when we drive down to NYC next time.
So glad you guys enjoyed this post! Clic is so amazing (and I love Christiane Celle, too, Fallon!).
Some day I hope to own one of James and Karla's amazing photos... and I'm so thrilled that they stopped by the blog.
I definitely will keep you all posted on their upcoming shows.

i love these storefronts. i agree, i feel like storefronts have seen so many things -- oh, the stories they could tell!
