Some upper floor displays. I remember Lost City wasn't fond of newer stores uptown that lit up the floors of crap inside at night, but I like these old-school displays.
Above and left, Earrings Plaza on Broadway near 31st. It's a pleasing display but, with three levels, it's screaming for a religious theme with heaven on top, earth in the middle, and hell below.
Then, below left, there's the window of Man Hing Import on 5th Ave. near 28th. With all the exotic rug merchants nearby, it was probably a good location for selling exotic vases, back in The Day when wealth might produce a few Culture Vultures in between the uncultured kind.
Above right, a window that Jeremiah's Vanishing NY has admired too, on Ave. A near 2nd St. It's a warm relic, forgotten in plain sight, that harks back to modest days when a simple middle class kitchen -- with automatic dishwasher! -- was the height of luxury.
And finally, below, some brides who've likely been waiting in the window for years -- in gowns still as white as the kitchen appliances above -- on 6th Ave. near 38th.
