I venture to guess that most songs are forgotten w/in days of being recorded. Others go on to be standards, some to become closely identified w/ political or social causes, some identify an era, at least to those who participated in said era, and some songs become closely identified w/ special moments in people's lives. But it's new to me for a restaurant to be named after a song.
If you've been around here for a while you've heard me sing (get it??) the praises of David Johansen (originally of the New York Dolls) and especially his first, self-titled, album. And even more especially, I've tried to call your attention to the last cut on the album, "Frenchette." I'm pretty sure there are AOTWs or SOTWs that at least mention these (perhaps not in single subject posts but in one of my "thematic" round-ups) and I'm sure they've worked their way on to various best of threads. Anyway,
One of the hottest new restaurants in New York is called, yes, Frenchette and yes, it is named after the song This is undoubtedly the coolest thing I've heard in a while, well at least since that shout-out on Sunday nite
The review of the restaurant is in today's NYT and not only is the restaurant excellent, the review is very well written and pretty funny as these things go.
Guess what I'll be listening to today?

I've never ate there, but there's a restaurant/bar in Tupelo named "Blue Canoe" after the Blue Mountain song (and best "summer" song of all-time)
