via Brownstoner.
“Not a day goes by that I don’t regret missing the era of Hot Bird in Brooklyn,” one contributor to a Prospect Heights Web site confessed. On another Web site, another wrote, “I really wish I had a Hot Bird T-shirt.”
"The “Not for Tourists” guide designated one of the signs a landmark, based on its “mysterious inscription” and “tantalizing visual.” But not everyone is tantalized."
"A few of the signs provide a delivery telephone number that now belongs to an unfortunate woman who lives near Jamaica, Queens.
“People are still calling me for the restaurant,” the woman, who declined to give her name, said the other day. “All hours of the night, they’re asking me for chicken.”
