Claude Lane is one of our favorite spots in town. Gitane, a bar and restaurant, has taken up residence on the alley and has an inspired decor style - a mix of "euro-themed 1950's, bohemian 1960's and bling 1970's" according to Wallpaper. It's eclectic, grand and dramatic and boasts a cool resource list....
Chandeliers from 1950’s France, mid-century lighting, artwork from Turkey, vintage-inspired wallpaper from UK designer Deborah Bowness, speciality fabrics and furnishings from Anthropologie and Tom Dixon combine in a sumptuous jumble of colours and textures.
It's a style well suited to nightlife but could be reworked into an amazing at-home look. The vintage pieces, luxurious drapes, over the top artwork and rich colors are all great starting points for an unforgettable room.

one of the most beautiful spaces i've been in, it's like stepping into a whole new world.
went this past friday (2/13) and i was really impressed with the design, the tile work in the bathroom is beautiful! i didnt have dinner, just some apps and the spinich salad (which was great). i have been going to cafe claudes for years and the attitude is much better over at gitane, will definitely be going back!
There is NO surface in this place that wasn't thought out. I was joking with a friend that there was no painting to be done, just dusting, because each surface was covered. Incredible environment. Great drinks and wine menu also. Food - well, I'm a bit spoiled by my chef at home, but good also.
