rita's Gravatar Oh, how fun!

I have not been able to narrow my choices down to one. I'm settled on three most favorites: Joseph Tyler Salon, Zaytoons and that bakery on Vanderbilt, near Subway's.

I like a whole lot of others too, though-- Gnarly Vines is narlyyy, Fort Greene SNAP is nice with the Obama logo-turned-wreath, Kappella salon is cute with the little partying sea creatures in the center. Karen's is simple and classy.

And there are more, but I'd better leave it at that or I will have named them all.

Jeff's Gravatar I can't decide which one to vote for! I love the streetscape scene at Polish Bar - it's a great representation of Myrtle, and it's so cute! I love the detail at Kapella's - you gotta check it out up close! Leaning toward Joseph Tyler Salon though, all that hair is amazing!

Sasha's Gravatar The windows in Kapella's and in the Vanderbilt Bakery are charming. I love all the detail in both. My OTHER favorites are Gnarly Vines (love the bridge, love the sky, LOVE the MTA reference), Polish Bar (the sillouettes in the windows are great) AND Joseph Tyler Salon (this one is so interesting to look at and I love the little characters).

I haven't voted yet, can you tell?

stephanie's Gravatar This is so fun! I love the zaytoons window, it's such a creative way to incorporate the holidays with the business with the street!!! I guess I know who I'm voting for!

chelsea's Gravatar I agree. You all have come up with a fantastic idea. The Bakery on Vanderbilt is my hands-down favorite. It is a tiny bit off of the main Myrtle drag though. I am hoping that everyone will get to see it all the same.
