Jumble Shop East was a Manhattan, New York, restaurant which opened on June 15, 1930, at 11 Waverly Place. The twelve story apartment house inside which the eatery was located, opened in the winter of 1929. It was part of the residential development then taking place east of Washington Square. The business was operated by Frances E. Russell and Winifred J. Tucker. Their original eating establishment was Jumble Shop West. The new restaurant was designed to resemble an old English inn.
The home occupied by Jumble Shop East was built by a syndicate headed by Louis Jakobson. More than 90% of its 158 apartments were rented through the H.S. Hillyer realty firm.
