Smith’s Bar & Restaurant in Times Square closed in October after 60 years in operation. In addition to losing a decent bar, the city also loses the place’s beautiful neon signs.
The sign on the side of the building has already been taken down; hopefully it will be reused if/when the bar opens somewhere else. The two signs in front remain, for now, anyway.
UPDATE 6/9/15
Smith’s reopened recently with its original signage intact.
