A legendary place. My husband & I always disagreed about the way to pronounce the name. I don't have a story worth telling, except that if one has an opportunity to go, one must go. But, there are so many places in NYC. I love seeing these pics, Renee, they took me away for a moment. xx's
ReplyDeletePerfect post today Renee.Today is our 18th wedding anniv, I would love to go there for dinner someday,beautiful place!..have a good day my friend,xo
ReplyDeleteI haven't been there in years, tending to go to Swiftie's whenever I'm in New York, but I love the place and I'll make it a point to stop in next time in town. Isn't it interesting that all the restaurants that achieve this level of success, almost anywhere in the world, use the "brasserie" format of bank seating.
ReplyDeletePaul,
ReplyDeleteindeed ,
this is so true.
there is nothing quite like a formal brasserie.
is there?
xx
Never been, but would love to go!
ReplyDeleteWell there is one thing for sure, people love it!!! I love the table settings with the beautiful small lamps on each table, and the floral arrangements are stunning, Renee.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.

a brasserie
ReplyDeletea brasserie is a type of French restaurant with a relaxed, upscale setting, which serves single dishes and other meals. The word brasserie is also French for "brewery" and, by extension, "the brewing business". A brasserie can be expected to have professional service, printed menus, and, traditionally, white linen—unlike a bistro which may have none of these. Typically, a brasserie is open every day of the week and serves the same menu all day.
The origin of the word likely stems from the fact that beer was brewed on the premises rather than brought in: thus an inn would brew its own beer as well as supply food and invariably accommodation too.
In Northern France, particularly towards the Belgian border (an area traditionally redolent of brewing French style beers), there has been a welcome revival of old breweries which had been converted into restaurants and hotels, reverting to brewing their own beer as micro-brewers. The term is often used in the United Kingdom applied to small metropolitan restaurants, usually in city centres, however it generally has no connection with brewing.
Lohengrin the 'old colonial' decor in restaurants in Vietnam and the sleek and sublime in Hong Kong. If a restaurant can take me away and provide great food...it's magic! I will be sure to add this to my list when I get to NYC next. :) thx Renee for another thoughtful post. xx :)
