What do you think? I like the looks of the 14th Street Cafe ... (Click on the image for a better look...) Maybe pick up a pack of Piedmonts and a copy of the New York Herald...

i'll take 'then' for ever, please.

And corner columns! I always loved those, used to still be a lot of them around when I first moved to the EV, but now they've all been enclosed. They always gave a nice open feel to the storefronts.
Awesome pic!
So I don't completely get that projecting ground-floor window thing...were they selling directly to the street? It almost looks like it was there so people could pull up to the window from the curb.
In 1924, the New York Herald merged with another paper to become what I read as a child: The New York Herald Tribune.

in 1914 there was nothing to pull up to the curb, less you were 1%
"The cheapest car you could buy in 1910 was the Ford Model T. It cost around $800 at that time. That would be equal to around $20,000 in todays money"
I wonder if the awning was down and those hideous tiles were stripped there would be any traces of the 14th Street Cafe...
