Tulip Cafe is chock full of events all through September -- guitarists, DJs, poets. Check it out.

I'm trying to avoid a repeat of last year, when business took a sharp nosedive in September. If there's a drawback to having a big and wonderful garden that's popular in the summer, it's the fact that as soon as the weather starts to cool, the place goes out of fashion. So I'm trying to promote these events as a way to remind people that Tulip is a great place to be even if you're sitting inside.

Also, we're introducing a new menu on Sept. 13.
