Eurotown, USA: that is the name of the bar/club/cafe/tapas lounge/Ferris wheel restaurant that we decided to open after returning home from Europe. The thing about Europe is that there are the coolest places to hang. Not trashy dive bars or skanky clubs, but really chill places to hang out that are open really late. Let me tell you about the business that we plan to open (a little bit of Europe right here in the USA):
1. There is a huge Ferris wheel right outside the louvre in Paris. We thought, wouldn’t it be cool to have a Ferris wheel restaurant where every-time you go by the ground, your waiter would ask what you want and give it to you the next time you come around?
2. Of course the restaurant will have non-ferris wheel seating as-well, to accommodate our acrophobic customers. We thought some outdoor couches under a cool tent, and inside very comfortable leather chairs, perhaps with a nail-head detail, and decor resembling that of an old library.
3. After getting drinks at a really cool tapas lounge our last night in Rome, it gave us a hankering for tapas. We looked for tapas for 2 evenings in Paris, and never found a cool place like the one in Rome. We thought: how perfect would it be to serve tapas at our ferris wheel restaurant?? Note: must be non-seafood tapas.
4. In addition to tapas, we will also serve: crepes (sweet and savory), cheeses of all kinds, wine for dirt cheap, pretzels the size of your head, chocolate croissants, fruit tarts, and bottomless fondue.
5. Our restaurant will be open very late. At least till 3 am.
6. Our restaurant will feature gender-specific glassware. What the heck is that, you ask? It is a revolutionary concept for serving drinks. Instead of serving each type of drink in its own glass, we will serve drinks in gender-specific glasses. Any girl who comes in gets served her drink in a cute martini glass, which can include some sort of fruit garnish. Guys, however, will get their drinks served in a beer mug, pint glass, or anything without a stem. This way, the women will always be excited about the fun glass their drink came in, and the men never have to feel girly for ordering a Cosmo, because it comes in a manly glass!
6. We have also decided to include a delivery service. This will include delivery of all food items on the menu, as well as DVD delivery. Because, I mean, really, who doesn’t want food and a DVD delivered to their door in less than 30 minutes??!
I will try to put pics up of the trip soon (Bets, please help!) And I will continue to add little tidbits about the trip.
Brilliant! I thought the same thing when I came back (minus the ferris wheel). But perhaps you could talk to one of the Carnie’s from the fair and see if he could hook you up with a ferris wheel. I’m on the pics. I’ll help you ta-day.
Aunt Kathy told me to check your site out. You are funny, cute, wise and entertaining. The best part is you have the Lord to walk with you through the good and hard times of life. Love you.
Love the tapas idea… need that here in EP… want to move here and do that?
