Photo from June by Stacie Joy
Back in the summer, the new owners of Nizga Liquors, now LES Fine Wines & Spirits, removed the classic signage — Fine Wine & Champagne's — that anchored the NE corner of Avenue A and Fourth Street for years.
Understanding how much people liked the signs (especially unnecessary apostrophe fans!), management there announced the two signs were for sale.
As we noted, Irena Lasenby, a former East Village resident who now lives in Bushwick, bought the smaller of the two signs.
She recently shared a photo of its new home in a garden space outside her apartment... currently paired with an old wheelchair she found discarded on the street...
Long live Fine Wine & Champagne's!
