A sign of love at the incoming Paloma Rocket-Carbone Pizza on 7th Street



EVG reader Chris Rowland spotted this illuminated LOVE neon sign outside the former Jimmy's No. 43 space the other day.

So we asked proprietor Jimmy Carbone what this was about.

As we previously reported, Carbone is collaborating with Graham Winton of Paloma Rocket for a new venture in the basement space here between Second Avenue and Cooper Square. The plans for Paloma Rocket-Carbone Pizza were put on hold during Carbone's health scare.

In an email this week, Carbone said that the two are still awaiting on the final approval from the State Liquor Authority.

As for the sign, he said "in these troubling times all you need is ❤️ LOVE." He explained that Winton bought a vintage sign collection, many of which will hang in the new space.

There isn't a firm opening date yet, but they are in the sign-decorating stage!

    The neon sign looks incredibly similar to half of the the one that was hanging in the short-lived Lovegun, a former Williamsburg bar owned by the owners of Club Cumming and Bedlam
