12 Iconic Neon Signs in New York City
Let Big Lights Inspire You
Nathan’s Famous
The famous Nathan’s Famous has been selling hot dogs for a century, and when you come to Coney Island and see this iconic neon sign, you realize, ah, this is Nathan’s.
Junior’s Restaurant
The Junior’s branch in Brooklyn, built in 1950, has a cute shape resembling a triangular cake surrounded by neon signs. Its sizzling cheesecake is solid and creamy.
Times Square Subway Station
The Times Square subway station is different from other subway stations, full of neon signs, because Times Square is the only neighborhood in New York City that is required to install many neon signs.
Lemon IceKing of Corona
This gelato shop in Queens is a regular in many movies and TV shows, and its beautiful neon sign is also a big part of it.
Staten Island Ferry
The Staten Island Ferry, which terminates in Lower Manhattan and St. George, has been picking up commuter New Yorkers and providing tourists with round-trip transportation between Manhattan and Staten Island. The ferry is also a great location to see the Statue of Liberty. The neon signs at the ferry stops are large and easy to identify.
Russ and Daughter
Russ and Daughter’s was founded by Jewish immigrant Joel Russ. Since the restaurant opened in 1914, four generations of Russ family members have successively run the restaurant. Its caviar/smoked salmon/bagels are the signature delicacy. Outside its house is a red and green neon sign.
Wyndham New York Hotel
Since its opening in 1930, this design-style hotel close to Penn Station may have undergone many changes in hardware, but what has remained the same is its huge neon sign New Yorker. You’ve likely seen it in pictures of New York’s iconic skyline.
Veniero’s
True to its neon sign, this East Village bakery has been serving New Yorkers with delicacies like pancakes/pastas since 1984.
Katz’s Delicatessen
The Pastrami sandwich at Katz’s Delicatessen is the best pastrami sandwich I’ve ever eaten! This century-old store not only attracts many celebrities/stars to satisfy their cravings, but also a pilgrimage site for fans of the movie “When Harry Met Sally”. Its neon sign KATZ’S is located on the corner of Houston and Ludlow Streets.
Apollo Theater
When you see the neon signs of the famous Apollo Theater, you are in Harlem.
Wonder Wheel
The Wonder Wheel in Coney Island is not only a Ferris wheel, but also a frequent visitor to movies. Woody Allen has a movie named after it.
Theater District
Manhattan’s theater district is a gathering place for neon signs, as it is home to many Broadway theaters, especially 45th Street.
