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.
