AvroKO pondered the bric-a-brac aesthetic of New York’s Lower East Side to create this restaurant in the old Katz & Sons furniture storefront. A functioning pawnshop serves as the portal to a 250-seat dining space that nods to shopping of a different stripe: a fashion doyenne’s 1930’s department-store fantasy. Crescent-moon banquettes in dove gray upholstery invite diners to take in a jubilee of jewels, feathers, and fur, with an outsize wall “brooch,” a massive 18 ft. tall crystal chandelier, and sprays of peacock feathers adding touches of outrageous glamour.
