[edit] Images

I took several pictures of the restaurant today and uploaded three different views:

• Image:Berghoff1.JPG - a midrange view that captures most of the building, with the famous Berghoff sign near the center
• Image:Berghoff2.JPG - a picture of the sign
• Image:Berghoff3.JPG - a longer range picture that captures the whole restaurant complex and show more graphically the line of patrons snaking down the street. However, the sign is much less prominent than in the midrange view and is toward the left edge of the image.

Unfortunately, the midday sun reflecting off the new glass building on the north side of Adams Street makes for strange lighting on the facade of the restaurant. I picked Image:Berghoff1.JPG, but don't object if someone else prefers one of the other shots. -- DS1953 ^talk 04:48, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

• I updated the main article to include recent information and dates about the reopening of the cafe and bar. Unfortunately I was not logged in at the time, but it was me. Also added external link to Artistic Events Catering. Could probably include information about speculation that the closing/reopening was a "union busting" move... maybe later...
