Chocolate brown walls and warm style abound. Jumping off the C train at Lafayette Avenue, you will see the distinctive YU sign across from the public park in this trendy little corner of Fort Greene. YU is downtown Manhattan style improved and enriched to suit the mellower, warmer lifestyles of the Brooklynati. Selling a mixture of vintage furniture of asian, scandinavian and mid century origin along with new designs by Jonathan Adler, Dwell, BOOM, Jack Spade and others, Ludlow Beckett, the owner, has created a groovy, sophisticated personal look that is hip and easy going at the same time.

Fort Greene deserves better. Someone should open up and put this place out of Business. Yu used to be a wonderful place to shop. What happened? The owner takes himself much too seriously. Dart on Aug 6, 2007

This store is full of a bunch of over priced JUNK! The owner, Ludlow can be moody. There is a guy named Jeff who works part time who is a nightmare...he is rude and seems under the influence at times. Can't someone open a reasonably priced store in Fort Greene with NO BITCHY ATTITUDE? David on Mar 1, 2007
