As with his Invisible Dog Gallery downstairs, Lucien has in his apartment successfully blended the boho-chic atmosphere of a Parisian loft with Brooklyn's own home-grown cool. There is art on the walls, art propped up on the floor, art on the shelves, art everywhere. The works are not necessarily what I would choose to hang at home but I enjoyed spending time with, and being challenged by, Lucien's collection. This is an apartment with personality! The location near the subway station and within easy walking distance of both the best bread in town (Bien Cuit) and the best ice creams ever (Van Leeuwen) made early morning runs in Brooklyn Bridge park (also nearby) an absolute necessity. At home we live in the middle of no-where and am un-used to any noise at all at night and therefore found ear-plugs useful. Bergen Street itself is not busy but this end of the street crosses Smith, which is. Lucien himself is a great communicator and always on hand to answer any queries.
