Self-described lover of signs, travel, books, style, vintage, and design Drew Walker recently visited New York City and spent some time documenting some of the vintage signs and historic storefronts we have sprinkled throughout the City. We rounded them all up and present to you this great collection of photographs documenting a New York City look and feel which is rapidly disappearing.
