Talk of the Point

I liked the Baltic, sort of. The bar was fun, the music was OK, Chuck seemed like a pleasant guy, and I lusted for his wife Melanie.

All that–minus Chuck and Melanie–will be coming back soon, says yet another Man Who Should Know. Word is that the landlord–Tom Butt’s Baltic Development Associates–has finished evicting the unlucky duo and that a new partnership will reopen the place in August or September.

There’s yet more good news: better food. The Hotel Mac chef is one of the new partners.

You may not like Hotel Mac food–it’s OK with me–but it’s sure better than the old Baltic creations. Chuck should have spent more time on menu planning.

I say give the new guys a chance. Hey, the new chef might find inspiration on a longer leash. And the two former Baltic waiters might know how to run things out front.

Let’s hope for the best.
