If you love treasure hunting as much as eating, you'll love Antiquity Rose. Where else can you savor a delicious homemade lunch and browse for vintage costume jewelry, antique linens, greeting cards, pictures and lamps?
Longtime customers know that it's entirely possible that an admiring diner may decide to buy the table and the chair you're sitting in, right out form under you.
