Junnoon's Grand Opening Ceremony (?)

Even though it’s been open for over three months now, downtown Palo Alto’s Junnoon just announced its grand opening ceremony plans. Scheduled to take place next week, the event is detailed in an email with the eye-catching subject, “Come Smash A Coconut on June 13.” (The lack of periods, the asterisks and the centered text are all straight from the email.)

This is not your garden-variety ribbon-cutting ceremony

Junnoon is the latest addition to Palo Alto’s dining scene, with modern Indian cuisine showcasing the finest local ingredients in healthy, bold, flavor-intensive dishes
