New York may not be the city of lights but it has been home to over 100,000 neon signs over the years. Although only a handful of these historic signs remain, the art of neon is still alive in Tribeca at Let There Be Neon, one of the city's last remaining neon craftsmen shops. Technology may change the standard for signage but neon has made a resurgence with artists, designers, and brands all gravitating towards this nostalgic light. Host Annamaria Stewart meets up Jeff Friedman, the owner of Let There Be Neon, who much like NYC is no stranger to neon signs.
