Quilty's (fwd)

Nabokovians might be interested to note (and immediately discard) the
following intelligence. A new restaurant named Quilty's opened on
Witherspoon Street in Princeton about a year back. It is a pretty good
imitation of a Parisian bistro, complete with zinc, and the steak-frites
is almost as mediocre as what you can get nowadays in the City of Lite.
The name startled me when I first heard it, but I thought: Nah, just my
nerves. It turns out, sure enough, the two young men who run the place
are devotees of the Master and did in fact name their beanery after THE
Quilty. They are annoyed by ladies who call thinking it is a fabric
store. There is a God. / CB
