Here’s a very quick bit of news for frequenters (or would-be frequenters) of The Coronet: This Fourth Avenue–area café and bar now has a cozy tent around its patio—and will keep it up at least through the rest of December.

Says co-owner Gregor Kretschmann, via Facebook (hyperbolically, in case you don’t get it): “We’ve lost more than a few loyal, flip-flop-clad, t-shirt-wearing customers to hypothermia and frostbite in the apocalyptically sub 50 degree arctic blast. Never again, we say, now we have a tent! Yes, come relax in sultanate luxury in our heated, orientally appointed patio tent. Palm fronds, kaftan, tonics made of dissolved pearls, cylindrical hats, palace intrigue, live music.”

The live music part, at least, is true.

The Coronet is located at 402 E. Ninth St. Call 222-9889 or visit cafecoronet.com for hours and more information.
