Ruby Tuesday: Pepsi-Cola along the river
June 21, 2010 | Filed Under NYC Signs, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Ruby Tuesday
This sign, built in 1933, used to be on top of a Pepsi bottling plant near the river. When the plant and its surrounding property were sold, the sign was relocated to where it is now — the Queens side of the East river. In the background, you can also see the Silvercup Studio sign. This studio is the largest film and T.V. production facility in New York City. Shows filmed there include The Sopranos, Sex and the City and Gangs of New York.
This photo is my contribution to Ruby Tuesday, the photo blogging theme day to post photos that highlight the color red. Check out other Ruby Tuesday entries on WORK OF THE POET.

I’ve been to New York quite a few times and never knew there was a film production facility situated there. How interesting. That sign is beautiful and huge. Thanks for sharing.

Great shot! They have fixed up that area quite a bit these past few years.
I love that they saved the sign! And, Pepsi is my drink of choice.
Pepsi….and movies….a great combination!! Orville Redenbacher doesn’t happen to be nearby, right?
My Ruby Tuesday is “Skipping Rocks” – a sculpture. Come by to view if you have time today.

Yep – glad they kept it, and … it’s not offensive, like a billboard.
Coke is it, but I really like that sign!!!
Great photo, Paz!
I almost posted a Coca Cola sign today. LOL Wouldn’t want to start a cola war, though.
Very cool Paz. I’m glad they relocated the sign and didn’t just destroy it! Great choice for Ruby Tuesday
The best place to showcase the pepsi-cola sign, like it!

Hi Paz! Sorry for the absence, but after a long weekend break, I was working abroad last week…
That is an excellent shot; I used to see it from a friend’s home near 1st Ave…
Meanwhile, Blogtrotter Two discovers Sardinia! Enjoy and have a great week!
What a great shot, Paz!
