Forgotten New York

MANNY’S LIQUORS AND WINES, Williamsburg

I was idling around Williamsburg in January 2014 and found this grand old plastic-lettered liquor store sign at Rodney (named for Caesar Rodney, the president of Delaware — before the Constitution was adopted, states had presidents) and South 4th Streets.

Looks like I arrived just in time as this specter of Williamsburg’s pre-trust fund wild and woolly days was gone in a matter of months. That’s why I always have a camera with me.
