PROUD TO ANNOUNCE WE ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR BUSINESS!! Since 1959 we have proudly called New York City our home. What began as a hobby between father and son quickly evolved into a thriving family business; and nearly 60 years and three generations later, we are still providing the same Brigandi Quality at a new, state-of-the-art location!

While many are familiar with Gehrig's excellence and durability on the field, very few are familiar with the Iron Horse's autograph. We could go on and on about his iconic signature, but for now, here's a quick background on one of our favorites!

Before we go any further, we’d like to establish that this is a...
