Follow Up: Garry's Revealed
Guess this sign that went up at the end of the week puts to rest any fear that Garry’s Wine & Liquor would go all gentrified on us when it opens at 80 Saint Marks Avenue in the next few weeks. Streetlevel: Garry’s Moves Up the Block GMAP

i walked past this on the way home tonight. it’s even worse than expected — the “wine and liquors” letters are lit up with incredibly bright, flashing, changing rainbow lights, sort of like you’d see in times square. except some of the letters already don’t work, so it only says “wine and li”.
Could we have a moratorium on the word “awesome?”
Seriously.
That would be ummm, Great!
It’s an homage to the old days, when signs hung outside of businesses representing what they were. A tooth for a dentist, a mug of beer for a bar, etc.
Okay, I don’t know if that is what it was, but I like that sign, and I find it much more refreshing than another classic wine shoppe.
I like this sign precisely because it’s sure to piss off hundreds of uptight, whiny yuppies who have nothing better to do than obsess over a frickin’ sign!!!
>”That sign is straight-up AWESOME!”
Agree. Though, in all honesty, not sure I’d want to have to look at it all day.
If you don’t like the sign go inside buy some booze, consume the booze and look again.
Mr. Brownstoner, you really are something of a snob. It’s perfectly OK. This a liquor store, not a fine art gallery, and we’re not talking about Sutton Place here, we’re talking about Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. Is this at all any worse than the GIANT yellow Pintchik sign painted on the side of an entire building less than a block away? Oh brother.
On a positive note, that 3-D barrel provides some much needed roosting space for pigeons.
I do like how he matched the red to the “Barn” sign next door, as well as the bench outside…
V. nice touch.
