Tujague's is the brunch — the 'butcher's breakfast' that's the workers fed, the 'tradition born' that's the world's meal. The '1856' is the old — the 'second oldest' that's the city's rank, the 'bar shipped' that's the Paris sent. The 'coffee cups' is the served — the 'Prohibition' that's the liquor hid, the 'shaft stored' that's the workaround kept.
The 'Begue's took' is the moved — the '1914' that's the rival's space, the 'merged' that's the competition's end. The 'mirror 90' is the aged — the 'Paris bistro' that's the glass's life, the 'reflected century' that's the bar's depth. Tujague's is the stood — the 'stand-up' that's the posture kept, the 'presidents drank' that's the register's names.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Local folklore] named ghost legend: Tujague is said to occupy the bar. Witnesses name it Guillaume Tujague; the name travels further than the proof. The restaurant's reports are the kind old establishments accumulate — footsteps after close, presences in empty rooms. The claim is neighborhood knowledge — retold locally, verified nowhere. Sources including 'Tujague’s' keep the claim in circulation. Named ghosts are the ones that last — this one has lasted.
