Huntington Dental Service, 23-01 Borden Avenue, Long Island City, NY
You know what they say: A good dentist should be equipt with lots of dental equiptment. |

Vasesource, 25-25 Borden Avenue, Long Island City, NY
Another example of "expense" with a c instead of an s - and "owner's" lacking an apostrophe. Correcting all those signs will be "expencive." |

Pequena Coqueta, 39-34 Queens Boulevard, Sunnyside, NY
Technically, it's another foreign word, but "lingerie" is spelled "lingeri." |

Clean Care, 37-35 Hunters Point Avenue, Queens, NY
What day of the week do I do laundry? Why, on Launday, of course! |

Brooklyn Truck Wash & Lube Center, 184 Maspeth Avenue, Brooklyn, NY
Interestingly, "bronze" has a silent e, but "Simoniz" is pronounced as if it should be spelled "Simonize." |

Alhudis Deli Grocery & Tobacco, 810 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY
This place doesn't carry the New York Times. On the other hand, they have reams of ink-jet paper coming in every day. (BTW: There's one of those signs with the redundant "ATM Machine" at the lower left. Don't forget your PIN number.) |

Vinny's Cafe & Pizza, 55 McGuinness Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY
What first caught my eye on this awning was the misspelling of "omelettes" as "omeletes." But I prefer the corruption of "parmigiana" into "parmersan." |

MHC Discount Inc., 66-26A Grand Avenue, Maspeth, NY
Just the singular this time (Are cigarettes so expensive now that they sell them in this place one-by-one, rather than by the pack?) - and this time it lacks the terminal te. Some other things on this awning caught my eye. For one, I wonder what was obliterated just to the left of "cigaret." "Cigar," perhaps? The other thing: It appears that most of the lettering on the sign has grayed due to the ravages of time. However, the "& UP" looks spanking clean, as if it had been added only recently. ("Everything in this store costs just 99¢ ... except for the stuff which is priced above 99¢.") Possibly someone alerted them that their cigarettes - the individual ones, no less - were pricier than 99¢. |

Future Capital Co., 46-12 Queens Boulevard, Queens, NY
Interestingly, their neighbor in Suite 206, Sunnyside Agency Inc., got the spelling of "residential" correct in their portion of this shared sign. |

Everything For Your Party, 70-09 45th Avenue, Woodside, NY
This is the second place that I've found that sells "ballons." (See here) It's nice to know that if I ever need some I can shop for the better price between the two competitors. And could they get any more enthusiastic about helium tank rentals? Three exclamation points?!!! |
