The 8 Best Fake Storefronts & Phony Building Facades In New York City
Way way back, when I first started Scouting NY, I did a post about a great tailor shop window I saw in Chinatown, writing “I love this sign lettering that is most definitely not nostalgic/ironic.” Of course, I had been completely fooled.

This is great. Thanks for sharing. I’d like to use this in an architecture lecture and would like to credit the artist. What does that say at the bottom of the image “Living ______” ?
“Living Exercises”
Interesting! What a great way to make friends.
Nice thought.
