Dear Maud

“The troubling of my life began…” are the words used by W.B. Yeats to describe his first encounter with Maud Gonne, the unrequited love of his life. Famously recounted in their history are the many letters Yeats wrote to the renowned Irish activist. Yeats began each correspondence, “My Dear Maud”. He was persistent in his declarations of love for Gonne, even proposing 3 times, all met with rejection. Gonne was notoriously quoted; “Poets should never marry. The world should thank me for not marrying you.”

The local neighbourhood charm that fills the streets of Hoboken mirrors that of home.

We keep organic and fresh ingredients at the core of our menu and a welcoming staff and lively ambience at the core of who we are.
