Permanently Closed - the Vessel

This restaurant is permanently closed. 6 Linden is renowned as the Sunday evening gathering place for both Harvard undergrads and others noteworthy in the world of vanguard arts and letters around campus.

Salon is a gathering of people under the roof of a ship, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through  d i a l o g u e .

These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, either to please or to educate – in Latin: aut delectare aut prodesse. The word Salon also refers to art exhibitions in the historical European context.  

“Entrez-vous” the host would surely reply, showing the caller the way through the gallery to the salon – most anyone is welcome:  o n e ’s connections were merely a formality.
