Oui oui
I'm partial to the frites at Pastis but they are, bien sur, part of the Balthazar clan so I'll accept your choice to ignore Pastis. Isn't that SO French of me to insult you and then tell you it's okay I insulted you?
jn, ca va? il faut que nous sortons ensemble bientot!
pj, you're hilarious. tu parles francais? haven't been to pastis in a long time but may just be inclined to visit for steak frites.
Hey Mona, maybe I'll make a surprise visit to your Union square event :-)
jn, i would LOVE that. bring some friends too!
