Three Muses opened at 536 Frenchmen St. on Aug. 11. The restaurant-bar takes its name from its three owners: Chef Daniel Esses helms the kitchen, Christopher Starnes manages the operation, and Sophie Lee is the music coordinator.

The world recession, now entering its third year, has racked up record national government debts, incredibly high unemployment rates, international foreclosures and enough sleepless nights to cause physicians to rethink their collective advice about the need for at least eight hours of sleep every night. Current thinking seems to be to get as much sleep as your restless mind will allow, even if you have to take it in increments.
Troubled minds and troubled economies can make for some interesting drinking companions –– not as good as some old college roommates or potential life-mates you are trying to impress but interesting nonetheless.
