So Which Restaurants Want to Cater to the Stoned, Drunk Post-Forecastle Crowd?

DOWNTOWN—Yesterday organizers of the Forecastle Festival (July 12-14) sent out an email, "requesting assistance from our restaurant and bar partners to extend hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights by offering late night menus for Forecastle Festival attendees.

So restaurant owners, if you've ever wanted to cater to the post-Flaming Lips show crowd, here's your chance to race for the prize. If the influx proves too demanding though, there'll be no tolerance for restauranteurs bemoaning, "I just wept and regretted this moment - oh that I - I was the fool..." [EaterWire]
