Mews - the authentic ones instead of fabricated - are very cool and all that, but they're real old school and getting pretty scarce to find in the age of encroaching glass towers with no character. Don't think they'll be making a style comeback or takeover anytime soon. But if I had some starchitect power, I'd be making these happen again! ;)

The ones here are owned by trust-funder families with deep-dish roots. I'd need some Gates money to break into them gigs. :D
 
Rural folks moving to the city found them appealing, because they still had that old horse smell.
