Classic East Village lunch counter B&H Dairy looking good with new awning, storefront and neon signage

The new awning arrived earlier this week at B&H Dairy, the circa-1938 lunch counter at 127 Second Ave. 

As previously reported, B&H received a storefront facelift between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place at the end of December, thanks to a Backing Historic Small Restaurants grant from American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Also new: The B&H neon sign is hanging in the front window for the first time in three decades.
