If the door is stickered top to bottom and there's a tiger in the middle, you're in the right place. 4222 N Florida Ave, Suite B, Tampa. Open almost every day, noonish to 7. Push firmly — the latch sticks.
Once inside: green walls, gold frames, brass everything, taxidermy at eye level. The framed sign on the table by the door says Trade Marcellus the Magic Turkey a Secret for a Free Button. He's the gold-leafed turkey at the back of the shop. He's a good listener.
The chalkboard near the door is the menu. The menu is doodles. Doodles are $100, payable in joy. Add yours.
A little raked-sand tray near the front. The rake is real. The cats are thrift-store ceramic. The crab arrived in a box of unrelated jewelry. Customers smooth it on their way out. We rake it back. This goes on.
The lights are mostly working antiques. Most of them are also for sale. If a lamp catches your eye and the price tag is missing, ask — we'll find it.
