Intrigued by this line: "The source said a perceived reason for the Craft House’s lack of success in its 1030 Goss Ave. location is that it was 'too nice and too expensive in the neighborhood'."
If the Craft House is too nice for the decidedly salt-of-the-earth Germantown, then Mr. Lee's unnecessarily high-falutin' send-up of The Violet Hour, named after an Asian dude that doesn't exist to give it that Far East flair, is in big big trouble. Can the Loft People (LPs for short) keep the $14 cocktails pourin'?

Hope that doesn't bode ill for Eiderdown and Monnik, which have similar pricing. Or maybe they're just wrong that the price point was the main issue -- maybe they had trouble standing out from those places.
