With Costs Soaring, Restaurateurs Embrace DIY Design | Eater NY
"Opened in Industry City by alumni of the earlier Bushwick project, the space incorporates family and thrifted objects with sentimental value: the “To the Bar” sign had been in chef Brendan Kelley’s family for generations—starting out in his grandparents’ inn where his parents first met, then moving to his childhood home. The oversized painting of a French bulldog baker in the entryway was originally purchased by his parents at Goodwill. “I have been trying to get that painting for years. My parents said not until you open your own restaurant,” he said. “Now I finally have it.”" - Andrea Strong
