Would You Like Some Porn With Your Soup?

When you hear the concept, you think, I can’t believe no one else has done this before! Combining two of life’s most primal pleasures, a group of friends has launched a new restaurant at the end of North Third Street in Williamsburg where it’s possible to enjoy a plate of meatballs while watching Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson get frisky(not with each other). Named Monkey Town, the restaurant was started by video artist Montgomery Knott and chef Coleman Lee Foster (formerly of Chanterelle). The “investive, quirky menu” gets largely favorable reviews in today NY Times, though it sounds like the menu lacks consistency at this early stage. The review ends with a note of support for what the restaurant represents: “As much of Williamsburg steadily marches on toward its fate of high-rises and higher rents, it is heartening to see a good-humored arty project like Monkey Town put down roots, even more so on account of its adventurous and often rewarding cooking.”
