"Cognoscenti practically invented the whole notion of tweaking by which I mean taking a space that has the mandatory stylish look but for some reason, remains mute. They make space talk. Of course, this place was just a tacky dropped ceiling 5th Avenue beauty shop that hadn¹t changed since the 60's. Now it looks like an old worn Comptoir of the kind you can't really find in Paris anymore."
