And your comments make me laugh, this one in particular. A long wait, rude and poorly trained staff with major attitude, no place to move, this is a real French café you're describing here ! And as a French, I 'm a bit ashamed of that state of things, but obviously some American people enjoy it...Sorry, awfully sorry for our bad manners...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-23578843415300187702007-07-26T13:21:00.000-04:002007-07-26T13:21:00.000-04:00Charming restaurant; charming street.

My husband is the photographer in the family (or so he thinks). I really do enjoy your blog Brian although I haven't visited for a while.

I know so many including myself that complained about NYC for years and were always threatening to move somewhere else. But NYC is truly a great city. The cost of housing is the single biggest problem now.<BR/>BrianBrian Dubéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579167361224067819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-50764668203092408712007-07-03T11:37:00.000-04:002007-07-03T11:37:00.000-04:00Brian, you tell the story very well.

You are also an excellent photographer with an eye for composition as well as content. I hope you enjoy the times you take these pictures because they look like you are in love with what you do.<BR/><BR/>Abraham Lincoln<BR/><A HREF="http://brookvilledailyphoto.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Now You Know Where Flowers Go</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-3421839842954856852007-07-03T11:30:00.000-04:002007-07-03T11:30:00.000-04:00I guess the customers sitting here can't expect to...I guess the customers sitting here can't expect to have a private conversation!

However, many visitors to NYC are looking for excitement, action, activities. So this place is perhaps more special for residents or those who find the contrast interesting.<BR/>BrianBrian Dubéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579167361224067819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-80693976474051844682007-07-03T10:07:00.000-04:002007-07-03T10:07:00.000-04:00This looks so un-New York!
