"Antique" Restaurant

A friend is visiting from Egypt and told me that he has heard of a combination restaurant and antique store and would like to go there. I don’t know of such an establishment and was wondering if anyone might know of one?

Thanks

Howard

    Quite possible he is refering to what used to be ABC's store -across from the carpet store when at one time several yrs ago they had restaurant and all the furniture in restaurant had price tags on them so u could purchase-i don't believe they do this anymore.

      It's not antique, but might be mistaken for that until you go outside... they do really fun, antique looking window arrangements from time to time.

      One of the restuarants attached is called Lucy's (I think there is another restaurants.) http://www.lucylatinkitchen.com/

        They do sell antiques by the way - just v. overpriced ones, and ABC does seem to be known to a lot of tourists

              Maybe this place: antiquegaragesoho.com. Solid restaurant btw, or at least it was for a great jazz brunch they have on Sundays. Not sure they actually sell the Antiques in there, but it is a neat spot.

                He may be referring to Turks and Frogs. www.turksandfrogs.com
