John Lennon once sang “life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” This and various bits of wit and wisdom adorn Caruso’s walls on big, eye-catching placards made of neatly pressed black plastic letters. Perhaps they’re there merely to offer potential ponderous conversation points to customers, or perhaps they’re the senior project of an especially unimaginative typography student. Taking them all into consideration while enjoying lunch there recently, I came to realize the connection between all these quotable quips: they do a good job of explaining the Caruso’s experience itself/Patrick Jacobs, Get Out!
