French restaurant opening in OTR, named for gloomy French philosopher
Apparently a new restaurant to be called Sartre is opening soon within the Rhinegeist brewery in Over-the-Rhine.
I have a press release all about it.
It's in the form of a free-verse poem, delivered to me inside a box decoupaged with pages from a French primer. Jim Cornwell of Dutch's brought it to me.
The basic information is that it is to be a French restaurant in Rhinegeist, to open this summer, which must mean soon.
Also, it seems the restaurant will have a door with a handle.
Sartre is a restaurant
ARestaurant is a place with a door
A door has a handle
Made of brass or steel or another material
Etc.
And there will be a bar:
Bars are for waiting for tables
Bars are for asking for a cigarette
Bars are for whispering to your love
Bars are forgetting your own mortality
Etc.
Let's say details to come. Though I'm going to guess the wine will be good, and knowing that Cornwell, who worked at Maisonette, Boca and Hugo before Dutch's, is involved, I'm interested. Also because:
Our food will be vibrant and unusual
Our food will be simple but complicated
Like a poem
Like this poem
Like a cave
Like an explosion
Etc.
