When hungry diners first walk into The Collective, a Meatpacking District newbie set to open on St. Patrick's Day, their growling stomachs might momentarily get side-tracked while their curious eyes adjust to the bizarre choice of interior decorating. Think: your great Aunt Toots' (the one that is one over-flowing junk-drawer away from being on Hoarders) apartment crossed with an Andy Warhol eye for sophisticated irony, and topped with garage sale treasures. Still not with me? An example of a seating option in this new eatery may include a flea market bought sofa reupholstered in...a few pairs of jeans. Peculiar, unusual, grotesque, yet seductively eccentric, and dare we say...shabby-chic.
