March 2026 Rundown

New York vs. Paris

New York: Monday lunch, Frenchette

Kind of ridiculous to have a French meal before getting on the plane to France, but it was close to the hotel and I knew we’d eat well.

With tip, came to $185.78.

Paris: Tuesday lunch, Bistrot Rougement

creme DuBarry (cauliflower potage)

free bread: not as good as Frenchette’s ($12), but good and had character

mackerel with chickpea and wheat berry saladish thing

parmentier de veau with polenta and salad

ile flotante

frangipane pear tart

$61.07 including a bottle of wine
