As we often do, we ventured into NYC last night for a walk through the Metropolitan Museum and the exhibit containing the paintings Arthur Steiglitz had collected during his lifetime. Beautiful, very comprehensive exhibit including John Marin, Picasso and, of course, Georgia O'Keefe. There was also a fun exhibit about art and caricature in art containing all works from the Met's collection. We always feel that even if we cannot be in Europe, we can be transported there by enjoying the Met on a Saturday night, with the live music playing in the main gallery entrance, and the international crowd taking in the exhibits.
We took a walk afterward and ended up at Demarchelier on east 85 off Madison for a solid French Bistro style meal. They have a well-priced prix-fixe for $27 including a salad or soup, a list of main courses and one glass of wine. D. drank both glasses and ate the steak frites which I had the coq au vin. Both were nice sized portions and well prepared. We each had a salad for starters. We tried the tarte tartin but found it not to our liking, not authentic, so next time we'll try a different dessert.
C'est la vie.
