Under Brooklyn Bridge
The father of our erstwhile roommate visited New York this weekend, and very kindly took us out to lunch as a gesture of thanks for looking after C for the weeks she was with us. Happily he knows New York, and is a fan of the River Café. This meant a very pleasant brunch, with mimosas, a fine view and a chance to dust off our French.
The restaurant is in Brooklyn, directly below the Brooklyn Bridge. This fireboat cruised by our table just after the meal.[20/01/09 - We received a further thank you (after we sent a note of thanks to him) that we will save as a superb example of French written correspondence, an art that makes English formal courtesy look as brusque and terse as a recipe for ice cubes.]
