The replacement letters are en route after the store opened with a misspelled "Upper West Side" sign, a Dunkin' spokesperson told Patch.

What was missing? A welcome sign properly spelling the name of its neighborhood.
"Upper Westside Runs On Dunkin'" reads signage posted in the dining room, first reported by the West Side Rag.
