Fonts Around the City

This is Sans Serif. I found this sign at the Uppper East Side Manhattan Shake Shack. This font seems appropriate, given it gets the point across--although maybe they could have been a little more festive and use a Decorative font.
This is Slab Serif Bold. I found this one at Times Square, advertising a sneaker brand, I believe. The font is very appropriate for the product, especially with the help of the lights which drew my attention.
This one is Sans Serif also. It's pretty self-explanatory where this was taken. The font decision is also appropriate given it's just a street sign. The architect must have been real creative, though. >_>
I am leaning towards a Slab Serif Bold, although the 'E' makes me consider this sign could be Oldstyle also. This was at Times Square to advertise some type of product, although I'm not sure what. It isn't very effective, given there is a letter missing.
Definitely Sans Serif Bold. This was also taken at the Upper East Side Manhattan. I would have chosen a different font for Starbucks, under the Decorative typeface simply to attract more customers. Although Starbucks probably wouldn't need it.
This is a Decorative font, which seems perfectly appropriate for advertising Chipotle.
