The aspect of the place that initially disturbed me was the lower-level dining area. I've since been reassured by management and early customers that that wasn't the intention. I'd forgotten how many young-adult artists and musicians have spent years in restaurant work, much of it at joints with more exotic fare. I'd also forgotten how many of these folks, when they do come into money, prefer to dine on the fare of places like Il Bistro and Marco's Supper Club . According to rumor, General Foods was trying to invent a better version of this stuff when it accidentally invented Pop Rocks.
Cynicism is based on the absolute facts of the world.
