Paris a la Grimod
Perhaps I am sentimental, but I love travel stories that allow me to connect to people and events from the past. Even better if the stories are about day to day life rather than just fantasy or hagiography.
This story about old fashioned dining out in Paris caught my eye. It is a good read. And BTW, I am on the look out for more good reads from other sources. Please share links to great pieces about food, travel, good life, people and so on that you know of!
