Inside a prep area of the Back Room in the Lower East Side we found this creepy, almost abandoned looking vintage style barber shop. Even creepier, behind us we found a real coffin. We’ve seen the real back room, the secret room behind the bookshelf at the Back Room, but this was just something else entirely
Turns out, there isn’t a hidden vintage barbershop operating at the Back Room. This area is used regularly for a mystery series!
