Four clocks are on a vertical freestanding clock tower as part of an advertisement for Juniors Restaurant. Juniors Restaurant is actually located on 1515 Broadway and the front of Juniors Restaurant has another vertical name sign with clocks on it as well. This clock tower is essentially behind Juniors Restaurant, but is within sight of it if you know where to look. Walk down the alleyway or pass through between the Shubert Theater and this clock tower and you will be standing next to Juniors Restaurant on 45th Street.
Since this Juniors Restaurant is in the Theater District of New York City, it is no surprise they thought it wise to advertise their restaurant with a clock tower. If you pay the big bucks for live theater tickets and travel into the inner city to see a play, you will want to keep track of time to get seated before the play starts and the doors close! Besides, you may want to eat either before or after the play ... and where better to go then to Juniors Restaurant that is right there among the various theater buildings.
This particular freestanding clock tower has display cases at eye level where both restaurant menus and theater advertisements can be on display. The four clocks are large white square faces with bold simple red Arabic numbers being pointed to by slightly tapered but thick black minute and hour hands of straight metal. All four clocks are working and are keeping correct time.
This clock tower is not the same Juniors Restaurant clocks on the front of the actual restaurant location just around the corner. This is a different set of clocks at a different but close location.
