A reader sent in photos of the carnage, including this one of the interior being hauled away in a dump truck. Do any of those bricks hold remnants of the Austrian castle scene, painted in 1943 by a patron who couldn't pay his tab?
The P&G must be on people's minds, because another reader sent in the following photos, too. Up the road a bit, the new P&G awaits. Down a set of iron stairs, with no neon sign to light the way.
Only a piece of paper taped inside the window to declare its hopes for the future: "On the corner of 73rd St & Amsterdam Ave for 67 years--Looking forward to the same in our new home."

They are open in the new location. Have been for about 2 weeks. Still looks like a work in progress.
Why was it they couldn't save the neon?
bartender told me it was just too fragile with age. taking it down essentially took it apart.
a staff person told me the neon exists and that adam sandler offered them 1million for it.
