Lovely picture, like Barbora, I would love to get hold of one of these signs - is there anywhere I can buy them online. International shipping is required since I live in Denmark.
I remember this place my entire life..funny how I never went in but I know of it.
A NY gem.

that place is the most overpriced antique shop ever... but they do have some interesting things once in a while so understand why you are sharing this photo.. sort of.
I love this place! I walk by it every day on my way to work and every time it gets harder and harder to resist impulse buys. They do have GREAT antique mirrors...

I've been reading/viewing your blog since last year...I never really took the time to go through all the pictures, including the ones from way back, and today I did. I noticed how your style/eye has evolved and improved and expanded so much...keep it up! Also, your book is beautiful.

Billy and Lorraine are the coolest. They are definitely Sartorialist material.
love the breadth of the Satorialist's lens, but does everyone have to universally rave about all things seen here. Sometimes people get it wrong. 90% of what I see here is bold, dramatic and beautiful. Sometimes though you can really see that the subject's are trying way too hard to pull off a look that doesn't belong to them. Of course this has no relevence to Billy's but is relevant overall I guess.
Great images of truly stunning people and their take on fashion overall, so thanks!
I went to this place when I was in new york, its very odd, I remember it having a vintage dildo. {What a nice memory}. somewhere in there.. hahah Oh well nice shot!
nice,like it,love to go :)) www.therichhomeless.blogspot.com

A pleasant piece of downtown and I'm glad it's still there, but it is overpriced.
I daily see a lot of people around the streets who create such stores in less than a hours time. They are seen mostly during celebrations in temples, churches etc.
There are a series of people who gather around such stores as they attract more visitors.
youll just never know what to find here check out my blog http://preppygoesrock.blogspot.com/ http://preppygoesrock.blogspot.com/ http://preppygoesrock.blogspot.com/
I really like your pics..they're interesting,especially if we consider the way you capture "human nature" more than the look people have. have u ever thought to come to Italy??I think here u really could find out special shots.
I would just like to get a copy of this photo! It is GREAT! Love the colors - the blue awning, orange chair, red firehydrant - all of it! I would proudly hang it on my wall.
The Bowery! That's also close to where CBGB's used to be right? During my visit in NYC this year I just had to go there to see the place for real. I was really overwhelmed when I was finally there... It's a magical place for sure.
I LOVE this place! Was just there yesterday -- trying unsuccessfully to bargain for one of those subway signs! I try every time I am in the city -- someday I will have one!
Pixie/Susan -- it's at Houston and Bowery.
I tweeted a pic of this crazy chair made of bones they have for sale right now -- click my link to see it.

That's Billy's Antiques and Props on East Houston and the Bowery.There website say's "This ain't Crate and Barrel"...so don't be offended if they are a little gruff. They pride themselves in keeping the old Bowery alive .They hire street guy's to help move the furniture in and out. The subway signs go from $40 to $5000 There website tells it all www.billysantiques.com

The property goes from The Bowery"the Giant Graffiti Wall" to Elizabeth St. Exact address is 76-78 East Houston. The tent has been there since 1986 way before the gentrification. WARNING !! To all flip flop wearers Syringes have been seen near the Wall.Probably came from the last flop house BRC Next to John Varvatos.Long Live Ye Olde Bowery !!
When I lived on Ludlow and Houston, I used to love to walk on Houston to this store. I dreamt of having a huge apt (obviously in the LES) and fill it with trinkets and stuff from this place. Much missed
Those signs were designed by Massimo Vignelli, a vintage design SUPERSTAR! I would die for one of those! I wish I was in NYC for a hot minuet. I would certainly snag one if I could...
I love that this place endures. I am always relieved when I see it is still there. So many great places and things are disappearing in NYC, especially in this area.

looks like a cool store for some interior decorating! i wish i had an apartment in the city. =P
I remember this place my entire life..funny how I never went in but I know of it.
A NY gem.
that place is the most overpriced antique shop ever... but they do have some interesting things once in a while so understand why you are sharing this photo.. sort of.
After seeing the bridge signs you almost forget that the red fire hydrant isn't for sale.
Ahh...lest we forget, NY fashion is not just what people are wearing, but also, the wonderful and inimitable city of NY itself.
The only place I buy furniture!!
Go visit itchycat.blogspot.com.
looks like a happenin place!

wow so nice!
Billy's is a treasure trove for people with a soft spot for unique old items.
This place has SUCH cool stuff... really strange, unique, and often beautiful finds!
great shot....i'd love to visit
This place is so cool, and my favorite is the wall on the next block all painted in funky colors and designs...

Amazing! Looks like you could spend half a day just looking around!
Ahhh I'd love to visit this shop!
nice pics
in a word: kitchy

is that the cigar store indian from siendfeld?
Looks like a fun place to shop!
I went to this place when I was in new york, its very odd, I remember it having a vintage dildo. {What a nice memory}. somewhere in there.. hahah Oh well nice shot!
Nice. Those subway signs would look great over the sofa in a view loft. I'll take the no parking sign.
This is for place like that, that we all need to live in Nyc, Where else !

It reminds me of my holidays I spent this summer in the big apple, 2 blocks away from this place...
Now, back in France, where you can now start feeling the cold, I'd like to thank you :)
A pleasant piece of downtown and I'm glad it's still there, but it is overpriced.
It appears to be the one I have my next door.
I daily see a lot of people around the streets who create such stores in less than a hours time. They are seen mostly during celebrations in temples, churches etc.

You hyave shot well.

have u ever thought to come to Italy??I think here u really could find out special shots.
I would just like to get a copy of this photo! It is GREAT! Love the colors - the blue awning, orange chair, red firehydrant - all of it! I would proudly hang it on my wall.
Great pic indeed!
Can someone please say where it is? I'm going to be in NYC soon and I'd love to visit it.
thanks, Susan
What are you saying??? That the red fire hydrant is not for sale????:(
barboradudinska.blogspot.com
I want the Brooklyn Bridge sign for my wall!
i need to go to there. this is completely my kind of place to shop for furniture. i am already drooling for those wooden antique dinning room chairs!
This makes me miss my place in New York so much.
Definately overpriced!
Its cool to go inside though, everything is all piled up.
You have no idea of how many hours I loose inside these stores sometimes, I looove antiques!

Check out the NYC doc "Captured"
Billy has some good memories to share
Helvetica is the perfume of the city!
i love new york!!!
The guy that works there is grumpy...
What a coincidence!, I took the same photo when I was in New York last spring.
We are waiting for you here in Barcelona ;DD

Love this place....makes me happy each time I'm walking down East Houston.

The Bowery! That's also close to where CBGB's used to be right? During my visit in NYC this year I just had to go there to see the place for real. I was really overwhelmed when I was finally there... It's a magical place for sure.
What a great photo! I love the colours and the composition. This photo framed ond on the wall would be better than overpriced city signs.
Antiques are great, and antique shops in NYC are great,. but this is the most over price junk shop in NYC.
That shop looks like it hold such wonderful character, I wouldn't be able to resist peaking inside~
-Robyn
looks like a very interesting place.
