Spooky, spooky: we got an email at 4 a.m. from a gentleman who wanted to buy the John Derian seance plate. With the streamlined, magical brilliance of the iPhone he snapped this photo of our store window and sent his query into the late night air. While our new customer has a taste for the occult, there was nothing spooky about him when he came in the next day to retrieve his wrapped & ready plate. Our new friend also bought 3 more John Derian plates, and we sent him off to dinner at Aurora, with a little gift on the house: an antique bottle from our collection, that matched perfectly a cork he had excavated from the basement of a former abolitionist's home in downtown Brooklyn.
