(Perhaps it was from the deep South that the architects got that wrap-around porch... the pediment is consistent with the local vernacular, but the porch guarantees some pretty dark rooms, that far north.)

Its Gino's wallpaper in brown?! One of my first ever camera phone photos was of this wallpaper, early style tray, a decade before I even defined the reason for taking that shot.

I remember Gino's wallpaper as a more reddish background. As soon as I saw the picture (and before I clicked on the link) I thought of Gino's. It's pretty amazing to me that a restaurant's wallpaper can be so distinctive even though it's been a decade since I was there.

My Grandfather-in-law is obsessed with Gino's. He's old school UES. Anyway, for anyone who's in love with that wallpaper...Kate Spade did a series of notebooks and other desk accessories with that pattern a few years ago. You can prolly still grab some on ebay.
