End of an Era: H&H Bagels Sign Removed

15 August 2013 7:31pm 639 W 46th St

Somewhat of a minor local landmark, the iconic H&H Bagels signage opposite the Intrepid has towered over the West Side Highway for years, even after the company’s eviction at the start of last year.

The location is planned to be an event space, as reported by DNAinfo. Work has begun on the transformation already, and unfortunately, the signs were the first to go:
