Nostalgia in the Air: Kitchenette
By Oliver Greene, Jul 13th, 2009 | In Nightlife
First Cha's, and now Kitchenette, are upping the '50s factor of Shanghai. Kitchenette is a shopfront the size of a slice of lemon meringue pie -- decorated like one, too -- that popped up on the corner of Changle Lu and Wulumuqi Lu recently, where Yogafish used to be. If everyone held their breath, it'd hold twenty people at its way-too-small booths (if someone is sitting across from you, it's necessary to negotiate a strategy to avoid having your knees push into each other). Cute.
The abbreviated menu of a tuna melt, reuben, grilled Swiss, and a couple of salads follows suit. Frankly, they need some help. If you're going to style your restaurant as a retro luncheonette, it's a grievous sin to serve a cold tuna melt, without cheese. But it is cute, and they just opened, and for y'all working in or around The Center, it's a new option.
