Merci! A la prochaine fois!

Pinch me -- We got here!

Just a quick note because I'm running out of time at the hotel's computer. We're actually here, much to my amazement after months of anticipation. Make that a YEAR -- after our last return to New York. Much to my surprise, Xavier here at the hotel desk handed me a package from my friend Rita in California: an early -- by a day -- birthday present! Does it GET happier than this?

Paris-Phile

Do you love Paris? Live for your next trip? Are you lucky enough to already live there?

I'm going back (from New York) November 3rd. It's only for a week, but better than nothing. Any recommendations? Suggestions? Advice?

For starters, here are a few of my favorite places:

Hotel La Bourdonnais - 111 Avenue de la Bourdonnais (7e)

Le Bosquet - Avenue Bosquet & Champ de Mars (7e)
Comptoir du 7e - Avenue LaMotte-Picaquet (7e)
Cafe du Marche - Rue Cler (7e)
Le Ronsard - Rue Steinquerque (18e)
La Mere Catherine - Rue Norvins (18e)

I love other places outside the 7th but don't know offhand which arrondissements they're in:

Chartier - 7 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre
Le Procope - 13 Rue de l'Ancienne Comedie
Sannine (Lebanese) - Rue du Faubourg Montmartre
Angelina - Rue de Rivoli

W. H. Smith - Rue de Rivoli & } these two are
Shakespeare & Co. - 37 Rue de la Bucherie } not restaurants, but favorites of mine

For whatever information, leads, merci beaucoup!
