The love for New York that you have helps to make and keep it great in a magical kinda way.
unfortunately, i think the dapper dan sign was not covered up, but taken down. i have a pic of the dan sign on my flickr account, and someone posted a pic they took recently in reply of the dan sign on the ground as they put the bagel sign up. sigh. i wonder where that old sign ended up...
