the frosted designs on the glass (?) dividers . . should be ‘heritage’ land-marked, or salvaged, or kept . . somehow.

ps: the falling apart / ‘pegboard’ ceiling is pretty priceless, too / entropy. archival interior architecture / design.
goes well with the ‘transformative’ materials . . context – he’s dishing.
those ceilings used to be . . everywhere. what happened ?
what happened ? to Chinese Buffets, in general & to Hudson specific ?
now that we’re on topic.
just: what happens ?? things fall apart & other things take over.
but, for what – reason (specific /)
