Lovely, Isn't it?

Here is a picture I took yesterday of the new "Boutique Hotel" on 4th Avenue in Brooklyn.
I'm trying to figure out the architecture, particularly the balcony railings. They look suspiciously like the rails on a coffin. Is this some sort of homage to the Brooklyn Casket Company?And of course, there's the side view. Looks strikingly similar to the architecture of the Gigundaplex movie theatre on Court & State Streets. I suppose if the luxury you are looking for is located between a 24/7 taxi garage and a stand-up MRI place (with views of the Pep Boys AND the U-Haul out the back windows), then this really captures the feel for the area.

I have no guesses who the rooftop restaurant belongs to, but I have no doubt there will be an Area Kids boutique in the lobby.
