South Broadway in Yonkers is an interesting mix of old and new. The signs pictured here, rusting Pepsi on a shuttered deli and fading Coca-Cola on a still operating luncheonette, are ties to a past that still peeks through a wide-ranging menu of Chinese, Portuguese, Cuban, Mexican, Italian and other restaurants.In addition, there's an eclectic hardware store with uneven floors and haphazardly stocked shelves you'd wish your neighborhood had after it gentrified. Also open for business: a silversmith and a piano store.
There's a storefront called Triple Magnet that offers haircuts, a photo studio and games. A small thrift shop (open when it has volunteers, according to the sign, and those volunteers were so ready to leave when I stepped inside they almost locked me in) had a surprisingly unworn but unsurprisingly pulpy best-seller pile of books.
