We leave for Paris in 12 days. After 6 days there, visiting E****t (banned) and the lovely Katia, it is off to London. We are staying at Claridges, the grandest hostelery in the Kingdom. I am taking my very finest finery to wear in the most elegant restaurants in town.
To find those places, I opened my 2006 "Time-Out London Eating and Drinking" guide and looked for the Mirabelle in Mayfair, since I know it has been one of London's grandest for many decades. The first sentence in the guide:
"Mirabelle would be fabulously glamorous, were it not for the dominance of male diners in suits."
?????
What would make it glamorous? What if they were wearing jeans, sweatshirts and caps? Maybe black silk t-shirts, pony-tails and earrings?
Someone explain this all to me. I must be from another century.
