We Made It Here Despite Cancer & Hurricane Sandy!!!

      Incredibly, in the 90th hour Lower Manhattan was without power, Bernard and I had to leave for the airport.  We walked down seven flights of stairs and paid a maintenance man $40 to carry our luggage downstairs.  It took longer to get into this blog -- because illness last year made it impossible to get to the computer so Blogger gave me up for dead -- than to fly to Paris!  And, amazingly, our good friend Rita Horiguchi is here too.  It's been a wonderful week of catching up.  All too soon, tomorrow, we have to fly back to New York.

Le Bosquet, 46 Avenue Bosquet, 75007 Paris

Unfortunately, I had to cancel our 2011 trip. At approximately the time we were to be there, I wrote to Jean-Francois and the team at Le Bosquet -- the only restaurant we make a point of visiting twice in each stay -- of my sorrow at not being able to see them as hoped, and that I looked forward to a visit in 2012.
Yesterday, to my amazement, there came a snail-mailed note from Jean-Francois, in English! "I'm writing this card to you because I'd like to have news from you. I hope you're doing fine, we think about you amd hope to see you and your husband. Kind regards from all the Bosquet team."
If I've loved them before, I adore them even more madly now. When you're in Paris, be sure to have a meal there (Metro: Ecole-Militaire). The food is excellent and satisfying: beef, chicken, specials that change daily. It was where we had our first-ever dinner in Paris (my first-ever restaurant meal there). Before deciding, we looked at several restaurants in the neighborhood, choosing Le Bosquet because the customers there looked so happy. Once we ate there, we understood why.
Tell them Tiffany sent you.
