Day-O Today
After a failed landmarks scuffle to save the rounded metal facade of the long-empty Day-O restaurant on Greenwich Ave., new colonial-style restaurant Monument Lane opened in the space in April.
Just for the record, here's the corner over the past 25 years and today.

Great place if you want a $16.00 burger... 8-( At least there is Johnny's across the street!
Wow - the real loss was the La Marionetta Pizzeria sign! *sigh*
deevolution and pure evil.
Ironic that there was an outcry against the removal of an incongruous 20th century addition, when the replacement storefront looks like a plausible recreation of the original.
i like the new resturant. it works better than the modern chrome one. its closer to what the area should look like. good move!
You know, I'm a bit mixed on this. It looks like the facade has been restored to its original appearance. Even though the previous sign was old [and cool], is this change bad? It's a ton better than covering up either facade with a shiny new intervention.
Glad that steel eyesore is gone -- never fit into the neighborhood. The new place seems much nicer.
