Gated, narrow, and forever in shadow, Great Jones Alley separates two hulking old buildings on the fringe of New York’s Greenwich Village. Down the alley and up a clangy metal staircase is the entrance to Michael Andrews Bespoke, a made-to-measure tailor shop in a former art gallery, where red-and-gold brocade wallpaper, marble coffee tables, and a deep sofa create a clubby vibe that invites clients to linger long after their fittings are complete.
