The bright red facade belonged to a travel company that has decamped down Broadway. Removal of that company's signage revealed blocky letters, painted on brick, in an old-timey typeface, and a name that has the ring of a restaurant or a watering hole. More I don't know; do you?
The Place
Surviving signage at 2280 Broadway (at 82nd St.), Manhattan



I asked the doorman, and The Place was a men's clothing store 25 or so years ago.

Thanks for the word, David. I might have thought to ask the doorman myself!
