The neon T in the windows above the Corner Gourmet deli on Murray and West Broadway  has been a perpetual Nosy Neighbor since this TC post from 2011. And I was just about to do an update for C. — and there have been others in the past 15 years — when J. wrote to say the neon T was no more after 30 years. (I think I have taken a dozen pictures of it but of course cannot find a single one now.)

It was the wine distributor T. Edward Wines & Spirits, which used the space as an office and for tastings, but has now moved to Noho after 30 years here. When it was the subject of the Nosy Neighbor post, a request for a photo was turned down by Tom. “We are a private entity very quietly supplying a niche market of upper tier resellers of wine since 1994. The value of our stock and equipment is somewhat irreplaceable, and such exposure while benefitting the curious few would not serve at all my interest. We prefer to keep our presence private and in a broad context work to support the needs of our community. I appreciate your note. Send us a note soon and we will gladly share a sample or two.”

The company was founded in 1994 — they moved their headquarters about three months ago.

And there’s new neon in the window for Zagged, a brand marketing and strategy business. They got the memo with the neon!
