The Cafe at Bloomingdales, SoHo
Last week, Bloomingdales, the grand, old New York City department store,
went downtown--way downtown--to lower Broadway in SoHo,
where it opened a second Manhattan store in a cast-iron, loft-style building.
The decor of the new retail-fashion palace is a mix of Bloomingdales's
dependable uptown restraint and high-style downtown chic.
One of the new store's two cafes, pictured here, exemplifies the style. Note the design patterns on the wall.
