    Stanley,

    Opening the 25th. I believe the final name is Boylin Nights or something along those lines. Place is gonna be spiffy, and I’ll be one of your friendly tenders of bar.

    Update on Si Tapas:

    Boiling Knights could be interesting, no?

    Absolutely, especially if if they were boiling in hot oil that we - as patrons - would be encouraged to drop on them from on high.

    Can’t attest to the reason for the name. I may be a letter or two off, but that’s the name I saw posted on the door when I was there Wednesday. Bad name or not, the place looks fantastic inside. Definitely cleaning things up from the Orbit days.

    You know you want a gourmet veggie burger
