Summer trends 2013- nonstop service, cranberries and caesar salad

Each year we find trends when we travel, things evolving and changing. This year, in addition to cranberries everywhere including cranberry juice and dried cranberries (very exciting as cranberry juice in the summer is always refreshing) and even attempts to adapt caesar salad into some type of chicken caesar salad, not a real one but a nice adaptation of a salad and enjoyable. The best one was at Mirabeau in St. Remy which was enormous with a poached egg and very fresh ingredients, topped off with Ben and Jerry's for dessert. But the most interesting evolution is from all restaurants closing for several hours in the afternoon, changing into "service nonstop" from early to late, this was a new trend and a positive one for travelers looking for a meal at off-hours.
