> Also, is this a German flag (alongside the U.S. flag) at the top of a "Chop Suey" sign (lower-left section of the photo)?? If so, why a German flag???

Maybe it's a Dutch flag: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Netherlands#/med...

New York was originally Dutch, and before being called New York, it was part of what was called New Amsterdam: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Amsterdam

Ah, ok. I guess that would make better sense than German flag.
