Most memorable dining experience Vin et Maree - the one on Ave de Suffren. The buttered sole melts in your mouth. It lives in my memory as my best dining experience probably because I was living in Pittsburgh at the time and Paris was heaven in comparison. And also because I was "po" at the time.
Best Paris dining Chez Catherine. Old location.
Best Paris cafe La Duree. Prefer the Asian decor of the one in St Germain des Pres. It's a tourist trap but I can't help it. The macaroons are so good (rose flavored).
Best NY lunch Bouley $34 can't be beat. I had at least 6-7 courses.
Best 5 hour lunch because I had nothing else better to do in Yountville The French Laundry. Is there anything else in Yountville?
Best NY brunch Toss up between Jane and Cafe d'Alsace. I like them for completely different reasons.
Best NY formal tea house Lady Mendl's.
Otherwise best NY tea house but the estrogen is overwhelming Alice's Teacup.
