Paul's Boutique Update

January 24, 2003 Fresh news still backlogged, but first a few follow-ups. Gawker linked to our Paul's Boutique post, which makes us realize we need to be more exact with our command of the language. It's the decor, not the cuisine, that's Jewel Bako meets Butter. (The menu when it was R99 was best described as "really good hangover food"; here's hoping for more of the same.) Coincidentally, this morning we received an email from Allen, the owner's brother. "I was looking for information on my brothers new restaurant Paul's Boutique. I am in Texas and have not seen pictures yet of the finished product. I went down for twelve days and helped my brother with renovations. He is the new owner and closed for renovations shortly after purchasing it. His name is Jack. Go in and say hello if you get a chance." Jack, welcome to the LES!
