My wife had an idea awhile back for a restaurant/bakery that only sold desserts. All kinds of desserts: cakes, pies, cookies, ice cream, you name it. And she would call this restaurant “Just Desserts”. She admitted she liked the idea just because of the name.
Yesterday out on our walk we noticed many yards with lots of little oak trees sprouting up all over. Last year was a bumper crop for acorns, and we’ve had a lot of rain this spring, so conditions have been right. I suggested that someone should invent a vacuum, kind of like a modified leaf blower/sucker, for picking up acorns. And I said “I would call it the Nut Sucker.”
There is also my idea for an Asian soup and noodle shop called “Miso Horny”.
I always wanted to start a 24hr Chinese restaurant called “Wok Around the Clock.” If it was successful, I’d open another one around the corner and call it “Wok Around the Block.”
(Many years after I had this idea, I actually saw a restaurant called “Wok Around the Clock,” so I guess I should have done it after all.
I’ve seen a restaurant called Just Desserts, so that might cause trademark problems.
I don’t know if is still there, but there was a restaurant in the Village called Tea & Sympathy. They served a fairly awesome high tea, much better than Harrods, which was overpriced and underwhelming.
Back when macrame’ was a thing, my wife and daughter and I tied up all sorts of pieces to sell wherever we could. We had a little sign to hang over our booth (wherever a booth was an option) that read:
A friend of mine wanted to set up a business in which she and a friend of hers would assist real estate agents, or brokers, with menial tasks, such as restocking the printed flyers in the “For Sale” signs on lawns, setting up house tours, following up on leads, and the like – “go-fer” tasks.
I insisted they call their business “Gopher Brokers”; unfortunately, they never followed through on their business plans.
