Drowning in Bread

I just ordered brunch at a cafe nearby and I’m drowning in all the free bread. Not only does it come with a croissant and a tartine, they also gave me a basket of sliced baguette.
Who can possibly eat this much bread before noon—or at any other time, for that matter?

Sushi To Die For… Shhh!

Thanks to my globe-trotting and oh-so-fabulous friend, Melvin, I now know an amazing place for sushi in Paris. But I’m loath to give it up so easily since it seems a little under the radar still.

Anyway, I hadn’t planned on staying long in NYC so didn’t pack a proper winter coat but did bring a vintage [...]
