The floor of pressed pennies at Meta was indeed finished by the long-awaited Repeal Day deadline. However, opening was delayed from the planned 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. due to the delayed arrival of a Health Department certification that "came around 3 p.m.," co-owner Jeremy Johnson said. Starter rounds of patrons have been gently urged to go easy on the bartenders. A printed menu asks: "Requests for classics will be honored if possible, but on our opening weekend we encourage you to order off our house menu." That shouldn't be too much of a burden, with drinks such as the "Show 'N Tell" (Citadelle Gin, Chartreuse, Lime, Pie Syrup and Peychaud's) and "These Rich F**ks" (Cognac, St. Anac, Ardbeg, Creme de Cassis, Palm Sugar, Angostura and aromatic bitters). A nice selection of French wines and assorted beers also comes along with the opening entreaty.
