Wandering around Brooklyn earlier this summer, Julie and I stopped in at the Mile End Delicatessen in Boerum Hill, a newish deli owned by Rachel and Noah Cohen that already has a cult following among the food cogniscenti of New York. Housed in what was once a vacant garage, the interior space was designed in collaboration with William Mowat of Associated Fabrication. The counter, tables, and benches are made from salvaged wood from a bowling alley, and the stools are from a 1929 Woolworth counter. We found a few ideas to steal: the white Thonet bentwood coat hanger paired with black scissor-arm pharmacy lamps, for instance (see below).
