In Short – Sidewalk tables packed with diners and the aroma of French fare might throw you for a loop--this breezy boutique also houses a Gallic-flavored cafe in the back. Maison and Cafe are the respective housewares and restaurant offshoots of American Rag Compagnie, the ultra-hip clothing boutique located right next door. Lively, colorful displays of furniture and other home accents provide a feast for the eyes. Each item contains enough joie de vivre to set it apart from ordinary wares.
