we’re headed to one of my personal favorite spots to dine and imbibe when in brooklyn — . with its classic french bistro vibe it’s the kind of place i can sit contentedly at the bar with a dozen oysters and a glass of champagne or (absinthe!) and feel perfectly at home. has a lovely nostalgic atmosphere and its decor a well-worn patina reminecent of the grand old restaurants of new york, paris, and new orleans — just my kinda place. we’re going to get a bit dressed up for the holiday season in shades of gray and patina green inspired by those pretty oyster shells, as well as the decor with a long over which we’re wearing a — i love layering an unexpected dress over a skirt or jeans and this one’s fun. add some worn with , a , a , a and some antique-looking and i think we’re going to fit right in.
while you await your cocktail and oysters you might like to read by tana french. it’s the second book in her dublin murder squad series and a whodunit i really liked. in this story the murder victim looks exactly like detective cassie maddox and carries i.d. identifying herself as alexandra madison, an alias cassie once used as an undercover cop. so cassie is back undercover, to find out not only who killed this young woman, but, more importantly, who she was.
