"Modeled after a European cafe and inspired by Nicole Liu’s solo trip to Copenhagen, Vester will occupy the adjoining half of 73 Ames St. and serve all-day cafe fare that emphasizes seasonal produce and international ingredients; planned menu items include a prosciutto di parma sandwich and a smoked salmon salad with fine-cut vegetables and a preserved lemon vinaigrette that will be made and aged in-house, plus a rotating daily splurge special. Liu describes the concept as “simplicity with finesse” and an ode to the Vesterbro neighborhood; she has applied for a common victualler wine and malt beverage license, plans to operate 7 a.m.–7 p.m., and will seat 44 inside and 16 outside on a patio, though she has not set an opening timeline." - Dana Hatic
