The Manhattan Restaurant of the Mind is a bookstore owned by Calvin Tower. It is located on Second and Fifty-Third in New York City. There is a storehouse of Tower's most valuable books in the back. It was burned down by Enrico Balazar's men after Tower refused to sell the vacant lot to the Sombra Corporation. The store has a sign outfront proclaiming any special deals of the day in the form of a restaurant menu. The Manhattan Restaurant of the Mind is where Jake Chambers bought Charlie the Choo-Choo and Riddle-De-Dum.
