La Parisienne
VANISHED
Manhattan has lost another classic coffee shop. Reader Scott Levine sends in the following shot of a shuttered La Parisienne, on 7th Avenue by 58th.

The hastily written sign in the window says only: "We're moving on! Thanks for letting us serve you for over 50 years."
In business since 1950, La Parisienne was a favorite spot to grab a meal after a show at Carnegie Hall or a walk through Central Park, a place for the standard old-school diner fare of burgers, eggs, pancakes, et al. (It was not a favorite, however, of Mexican wrestlers.) It boasted a beautiful vintage neon sign, in blue and red, along with the ever-vanishing STEAKS CHOPS SEAFOOD.
Now the neon sign is off and calls to the diner go unanswered. Bon voyage La Parisienne.
