Ghost signage at former Telephone Bar and Grill?

The exterior work on the former Telephone Bar continues on Second Avenue near Ninth Street... EV Grieve reader Miranda sent this shot along from last Friday morning, when the work was really getting started outside...



Made easier, of course, without those pesky old red telephone booths... and work continued yesterday... So... What I can't recall... is that Bar & Grill sign part of the old Telephone signage from a few years back?




It just doesn't look like signage for what is coming to this address, the lovingly named 13th Step...

The 13th Step sure to be big with the AA crowd

    Wow! No, that was never part of Telephone's signage, but boy, is it gorgeous! Look at those Art Deco letters! Thanks!

    I'm with Lisa. That sign is just beautiful. I hope someone salvages it -- I'd take it in a heartbeat!

    I miss Telephone. :(

    The bulbs glow red when they're on while they're working at night too. McNally should have taken some decorating tips from.. a frat bar?
