No.2 Store of the Week

Meet Arielle of Brooklyn to West

This all began as the adventure of a lifetime, and it was. Taking a sixteen foot truck across the country, my dearest friend Amelie and I drove for nine days, stopping at abandoned diners, farms, junk stores, and anywhere else our love of the old and decrepit told us to stop. We arrived in California with a truck full of barn wood and old chairs, and that’s where I began my six month journey of building and designing an entire restaurant from scratch — building the bar and thirty tables myself! Having successfully completed the build, and with the restaurant up and running — full every night! — I returned to Brooklyn and am continuing my life of designing, creating, inventing, finding, thrifting, and building something everyday.
