Hi there! There’s a set of these statues in front of a business that I’m pretty sure is right next to a restaurant in Brooklyn. Does anyone recognize them? Thank you!

It’s not someone’s house! It’s 100% at a business. There’s one on each side of the entrance. A friend used to live in the area and sent me pictures of this particular statue all the time. I’m going to be there for work and thought it would be funny to send pictures of me with the statue, but I don’t want to ask him specifically where it is because he’ll see it coming

I think those are guardian lions and pretty common outside houses that belong to Chinese people.

maybe you can try getting the metadata of the photo sent to you to find the location.

Thanks! I’ll give that a try. I was just hopeful someone recognized the photo! I want to say he had mentioned it was a law office or… maybe tax prep.. definitely an office. Anyway, there’s a lot happening in the area so it’s hard to locate!

It would be hard to figure it out because lions are common and there's nothing else of note in the photo. Do you know the general area?

Here's an example of some lions in Brooklyn

I’m pretty sure just north of Prospect Park. I wish I knew more! I’m almost certain there was a restaurant to the immediate left and… yep… not very helpful!

I'm almost 100% sure that this is a house because of those metal gates that a lot of Chinese people like to use for their houses. This also looks like it'd be a house somewhere on 8th avenue in Sunset Park. You have a different picture that zooms out of that lion a little bit or nah?

I used Google reverse image search but nothing came up.

Oh there were tons of the exact same cheap Chinese lion statue, but I couldn't find the exact photo or something sourced to a NY restaurant.

Sorry.

Unfortunately, every other photo is closer and either includes my friends face, a sandwich, etc I’m pretty sure it’s on a main road near a corner. Ha ha… I assumed this would be a stretch, but I’m trying!
