...decor at Noch's is kind of funky Italian. As DiCenso says, "the owners are pretty proud of their heritage," and it shows in the many posters plastered around the small restaurant. Live vines are twined about the ceiling. On one wall is a rather trippy mural that shows Pinocchio eating a slice of pizza and fleeing a whale.

Enterprising hotel operators should copy the decor of the Lincoln Bedroom several times and rent the rooms to anyone who can pay for them.
