MANHATTAN — If you think it's tough to get a table at the Corner Bistro now, wait until former First Daughter Barbara Bush and the secret service move in down the block.

The 28-year old and her mom, former First Lady Laura Bush, were spotted house hunting Thursday at 2 Jane St. between Greenwich Avenue and West 4th Street, around the corner from the already bustling saloon, the Daily News reported.

Barbara Bush carried a Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate brochure as they toured the building, where realtors said the only available apartment is a 700-square-foot co-op priced at $975,000, according to the News.

The Greenwich Village pad also features exposed brick walls, high ceilings and a landscaped 1,500-square-foot roof-deck, the paper reported.

Barbara, a Yale graduate who works at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, is no stranger to Carrie Bradshaw's fictional stomping grounds – she currently lives on West 9th Street, the News noted.
