Stew I would be so honoured and delighted. I'm going to be a regular in any event, you'll be sick of my face all too quickly :)

Hi Stew, Where is the best place to keep up to date as to when the soft opening might happen? The FB page, or will you share that information here? Do you have an email newsletter?
Looking forward to the opening!!

Wow.  Congrats.  The trials and tribulations of opening this restaurant is almost Shakespearean in its narrative...

(And perhaps should have been a documentary...)

The owner of this restaurant's perseverance is admirable.

Well done.

Good to hear!  I've since moved out of the neighborhood, well out of the state actually, but I'd like to drive in when you're officially open.  :)

I am still committed to a soft opening. A cold “grand opening” is a recipe for unpredictable food and service and for being clobbered on this site :)

I'm happy it all worked out for you, but let's be frank here, you did your fair share of clobbering in your entrance and it was unprovoked.

Hi, there is indeed a newsletter. If you want to send me a note at stewart at swimtwobirds.nyc I’ll add you to it.

I am so terribly bored with this thread!  I am done with Stew’s mind games!  Let’s move on shall we?  Yes let’s!

I would also be looking forward to it--I was a big booster of STB-- if I fully believed it. Too many strange things have happened without plausible explanation. And the most recent statement from the owner regarding what else needs to happen and the assertion that the place will be opening--well, it's just not very persuasive, doesn't ring true.

It reminds me of a situation a family member went through when payments were due him and the person who owed the money just kept saying things to the effect of "Don't worry--it's on its way! I was just waiting for a loan to come through, which happened yesterday. It will be in your account this Friday, I promise!" They money never arrived. I think the person actually believed what she was saying--because otherwise, she'd have had to admit to herself that her business was failing-- but none of it was true. And it took my relative a long time to understand that nothing this person--a longtime colleague--was saying to him was true.

I will be thrilled if I turn out to be wrong and STB opens and thrives. I'd certainly be an eager customer.

a message at the top of the page is more likely to be seen than a message buried 18-20 deep.
