Instead, you'll want to hurry through those doors for an order, which includes a beautifully done eight-ounce... More »

French restaurants are hot - just not haute

In an interview a while back, architect Daniel Libeskind really said all there is to say about French food. He was talking a little about the work he did on the expansion of the Denver Art Museum — defending himself from the usual snoots and lunkh... More »
Parisian at Brasserie Felix

By Nancy Levine | Thu, November 13, 2008

I learned the joy of eating at the bar at Cafe des Artistes on the upper west side of Manhattan. I was in my early twenties, and Doug, an older colleague, insisted on buying me dinner every two to three weeks because he said he loved my stories of... More »
