triste

If my random and unscientific survey of some French opinion at all represents the nation’s as a whole, then the debut of Donald Trump’s America has left some French triste — a bit sad, even brokenhearted, and also wary and vigilant.

Prior to the the release of her debut album, 2023’s “Cumbialicious,” Estevie turned heads with singles “Triste Verano,” “el paso” and “Canela.”

As a date, we’d go to Café Triste in Chinatown and have a nice glass of wine and hang outside.

Ambiance is key and Café Triste is kind of sexy and has a nice energy.

Last month, the Dry River zine from Gen-Z-run Crybaby Press threw a release party and reading at the Chinatown wine bar Cafe Triste, while the Quarterless Review, a risograph-printed lit magazine from Tiding House, co-hosted a poetry-meets-comedy variety show in Night Gallery’s courtyard with the Erogenous Zone.
