I fell in love with Café Carleton because it reminded me of the
Carlyle Hotel in New York, another one of Carleton Varney's design projects. Dorothy Draper had an apartment at the Carlye and was was asked to re-do the hotel in 1930.
I really liked the ambiance, red velvet chairs and photographs that lined the walls.
Café Carleton was a great place for salads, snacks and coffee.
Reading your blog is starting to make me fat lol. Seeing all these delicious meals makes me hungry.
