A torn awning at Eldridge and Broome reveals an older sign reading Schonbrun Orient
In 2018 the Chinese Hispanic Grocery at Eldridge and Broome Streets put up a new canvas awning with the bodega's name, a nod to the corner at which Chinatown meets the Hispanic Lower East Side; the torn awning it replaced had stopped hiding an older sign that seems to read Schonbrun Orient, a Jewish name from the neighborhood's earlier decades. Ephemeral New York could not find out what kind of shop the sign advertised.
