Goodbye Vej Naturals, hello Pulse Café

[ron_newman]

According to a sign posted on the former Joey's Thai Café, the new vegan restaurant to open at that location will have the name Pulse Café instead of Vej Naturals.

(See last month's post and one the month before for earlier discussion of this restaurant, which used to be located in an obscure part of Malden.)

Your title is somewhat misleading. :) It's the same place -- they just changed the name.

then again...

the restaurant name is somewhat misleading. Why call it pulse when they don't serve anything that ever had one?

That's exactly the point, isn't it? Otherwise they'd have to call it the Flatline Café.

Why a duck? Why a no-chicken?

Pulses are legumes, so that might be where they got the name.

I didn't know that until just now!

Oops, sorry, didn't keep reading beyond the original comment while feeling the need to be a pedantic smart aleck.

I suspect they will too serve pulses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_%28legume%29)! I'm sure they've got something on the menu containing lentils, for instance.

Good move

Good move if they hope to survive at that location. "Let's meet at Vej" doesn't have much oomf...

"Let's vej out tonight."

I was hoping they'd change it to Natural Vaj
