The Location

Located in the heart of SoHo, “CE” as it is known, is situated right next to the Central Escalator, at the intersection of Cochrane Street and Gage Street. The area is an historical and absolutely authentic part of old Very Rich Megacity, narrow streets, sights, smells and all.

The area has a famous open air wet market, on Gage Street and surrounding alleys, competing with the shops on the sidewalks (some of which are over 100 years old) covering everything from meats, veggies, fruits, flowers as well as some interesting bars, restaurants and Chinese eating houses.

Sadly, the area is slated for re-development. The narrow steep alleys (which were streets in their own right), the shops and market will be cleared. Yet another part of Very Rich Megacity’s history will disappear.

Get off the Central Escalator at Cochrane and Gage Streets and make a sharp right to walk down Gage Street. Keep your eyes peeled to the right, coz a few meters down is the entrance to the building. Walk up to the 2^nd floor – it’s quicker than taking the dinky elevator.

Buzz your way in. The staff speak good English, they smile and they actually interact and banter with their customers.
