Crepes in the City has finally opened at 500 North 14th, at the rear of the building that used to house Marte Shoes. The glassed-in entrance overlooks Lucas Park and the back of the public library. There’s a website, but unfortunately it hasn’t been updated yet. (And there’s a phone number — 314-436-1900 — but I haven’t been able to get anyone to answer it.) Nonetheless, the place is open from early morning — 7:30, I think — until 3, with later hours toward the weekend. Hey, I’d tell you more, but they aren’t answering the phone yet.

Update: Props to Doug Moore of the P-D staff for forwarding me the official message from Crepes’ owner (the footnote is from me):

Our hours are:
Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 7:30 a.m. - 3.00 p.m.
Thursdays and Fridays from 7:30 a.m. -11 p.m.
Saturdays from 8:30 - 11:00 p.m.
Sundays from 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m.
We hope to see you soon. Friday night we will have live music for your enjoyment. Our website is almost ready, then you can find out what events and live entertainment we will feature, as well as the hours. Thank you always, jose & mary.
500 N 14th st. One block south of Washington Ave.
Tel. # 314- 436-1155, 436-1903

(I’m not sure about the phone number confusion — at least one printed document in the new restaurant also listed the 436-1900 number.)
