The Fanciest Mouse Hole In New York City


I was walking up Wythe Ave in Williamsburg last week when something caught my eye…

And here it is: the fanciest mouse hole in New York City, featuring a Federal-style doorway complete with pilasters and a pediment!

Alas, a scan of the code in the doorknocker area reveals it not to be the entrance to the greatest mouse house ever, but instead, a street ad for performance artist Cynthia von Buhler’s Speakeasy Dollhouse project, an immersive theatrical show.

Apparently, these have been showing up around town for the past few years. I knocked, but no one was home.

  1. they are called fairy doors. there is a town in england where there are hundreds of them

  2. They could have done a nicer job gluing it to the wall. That really detracts from this cute little door.

  3. There’s also a dark blue one on the signpost at the SE corner of mercer and spring. Looks like a party left the corner a bit ragged.
