"'When you cross into Manhattan, there's only one proper entrance line: 'Hello, gorgeous.' Barbra said it first, and frankly, she could've been talking about this borough.'"
"'These signs are a wink to our theatrical soul, our cultural legacy, and our well-earned confidence. After all, what better way to enter Manhattan than with a compliment?'"
A new sign on the Brooklyn Bridge welcomes visitors to Manhattan with the phrase 'Hello, Gorgeous!' referencing Barbra Streisand's line from the 1968 film 'Funny Girl.' Many passersby, however, do not recognize the reference. Some find the slogan cute and fitting for Manhattan, while others mistakenly associate it with different films. The sign was created by Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal, who emphasized its connection to the borough's theatrical legacy and cultural confidence.
