The Salt Exchange

Just a nice little list of updates (get ready for a handful of exclamation points):

For your reading and web-browsing pleasure:

We will celebrate (!):  Today marks our one year anniversary, and we just can't believe it. We will be offering new signature drinks and complimentary canapés from 5-7. As always, there will be free parking available in the MEMIC lot and we are so excited to see you. It has been a fabulous year for us at the restaurant, and we have received so much love and support from the community. For that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  

• Also worth noting (especially for those of you with a taste for literature): Our anniversary falls on Bloomsday, a day set aside to celebrate the life of author James Joyce. More about the day can be read here, and we encourage you to have a drink for James. The Writer's Almanac writes about Bloomsday here, and you can hear Garrison Keillor talk about Bloomsday here. 
• Finally: Joe Ricchio made a beautifully entertaining appearance on WCSH this morning, where he made tripe soup. Topics covered included soups that make for good hangover cures, living safely through vicarious blog-reading, and - of course - early morning tripe-eating. You can watch his performance below.
