Living with Legends

Earlier this week, Grumpy Old Bookman, a London-based book blog, linked to one of our posts.  One of Grumpy’s readers had the following comment:

I followed the Chelsea blog for a time and find it a bit transparently promotional and probably put out by someone on the hotel payroll–which then leaves me a bit skeptical of its elaborate stories. Much like what one would read on the back of a dinner menu. In that sense, nice work.

     At last! Someone who sees the value of our blog!  Thank you Andrew.  We’re going to run right down to Stanley Bard and show him your comment and demand that we be paid.  Surely he won’t just raise our rent again.

     But we are curious about this restaurant that prints stories about fires and cockroaches on the back of its menu.  Could you give us its name and address?  We’d like to submit a story about junkies shooting up in its bathroom.  But we aren’t too eager to eat there.
