From 6sqft: The Union Square location brings By CHLOE.’s NYC total to nine. Though the casual eatery did not keep any original features from Coffee Shop, they say they intended to deliver a design inspired by its predecessor by making the location “diner themed,” as a publicist for the restaurant told Gothamist. “Many of the interiors playfully nod to Coffee Shop. For example, the bright rainbow marquee light was inspired by the iconic neon ‘Coffee Shop’ sign.” Other riffs on the restaurant’s former lives include sparkly vinyl booths and wallpaper emblazoned with the iconic NYC Anthora coffee cup. Oh, there’s also taxi-themed bathrooms with bright “Off Doody” lights.
