An evening at Jacques

Jacques is a fun little French restaurant that I have been frequenting with friends for years. It was introduced to me one evening by my friend Buzz and ever since then it has been a place to meet up with local Soho artists, friends and bon vivants. Go on Tuesday evenings and meet my friend Sabina- she tends to the bar - say hi! Other evenings, the lovely Naomi from Australia is a vision in black and ash blonde.

Nice Matin

A delightful French bistro on the upper west side of New York, started in 2003 by partners Simon Oren (Marseille, Sushi Samba, L`Express) and chef Andy d`Amico (Sign of the Dove, Little Dove).

Best for a lovely lunch in the form of a huge Salad Nicoise - and to be enjoyed with an excellent selection of wines from the restaurant's extensive wine list. After this splendid fare one can stroll over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 82nd street and Fifth Avenue and enjoy the Pierre Bonnard show that is almost ending it's tenure there.
