Dessert is for tourists.

Whew! This was getting too hot for me.

De minimus non curat lex.

Damn! Sounds good.

NYC being a city of the world, you can fly to LA (try Jet Blue to Long Beach) and eat at Bastide, Sona and Josie.

Yeah.

Exactly. And yet so evanescent.

Steve, How does BB vary from zarzuela? From cioppino?

Sounds close, but no cigar.

Good things take time.

Because we're so highly evolved?

Or a no corkage policy.

Nothing like the luscious taste of benzoate of soda for a little preservation.

We will veto any soup that isn't French.

Sometimes only a spicy soup de poisson will do. With lots of crusty bread. And wine.

Can't pull up this link. Does it still work? If so, can you re-post? Thanks.

Le Pain Quotidien--BH and West Hollywood.

Come back. This was just getting really good.

Two other downtown places that occur to me are: Senor Fish, on the edge of Little Tokyo at 424 E. 1st Street, 213/625-0566, go for the fish tacos (that's the best thing they have) and 410 Boyd, located at 410 Boyd in the Toy District, 213/617-2491, a hip place to have seared ahi and other minimalist fusion things. In either case, call for the hours of operation.

No perhaps about it. Thanks.

Edit: moved to proper thread.

In vino veritas.

If you want cheap and drinkable at TJ's, get some of the Santa Ema or Santa Rita.

Langer's makes a great pastrami on rye and you can get a Dr. Brown's Black Cherry to drink. It's only open til 4:00 pm and it's closed Sundays. You can drive there (7th & Alvarado) and there's a nearby parking lot where they validate for 1 hour. It's perfectly safe till 4:00 pm. You may detect the odor of urine or rotting garbage as you walk the short block from the parking lot to Langer's but in addition to local color you get local odor.
