2 Chinatown Newsstands

(From an one-time postal service I never posted.)

C&L Sunrise Grocery was a piffling newsstand on Hester Street at Bowery. Its facade is remarkable thank yous to the old, hand-painted sign that hangs to a higher house its awning, announcing: "Chung's Candy & Soda Stand," amongst 7-Up too Coca-Cola logos, likewise painted past times hand.



The house sold candy too newspapers, lottery tickets too umbrellas. The commons stuff. Awhile ago, I went past times to honor a "Space for Lease" sign on its rolled-down shutter. (Maybe past times straightaway it's reopened equally a novel newsstand?)

Meanwhile, at roughly other corner of Chinatown, where Lower East Side-style gentrification is seeping in, roughly other newsstand vanished.


before

At Rutgers too East Broadway, against community objections end year, Jajaja Plantas Mexicana moved inwards to what had been the Golden Carriage Bakery too a piffling newsstand amongst a metallic awning.

The pop eating theater serves vegan Mexican food. They left the newsstand signage, merely it looks variety of sad, hanging out at that spot without its one-time soul.
