East Side Show Room

Editorial Review

This is a carnival. Not a cafe. Musicians interpret bygone songs, painters with mustaches rhapsodize on their works, performance-art comedy troupes rehearse. The furniture, lighting, and decor is part design, part retail showroom. Everything here is meant to be creative and to inspire, as it were a pre-war Parisian salon. But you can still come here if you just want steak and potatoes and a libation.
