Erik, Paris is a pearl, but how dare you not visit any fashion museums! ; ) A New Yorker in Paris skipping fashion during couture week? You must return and finish the trip.

Lovely romp through Paris. But pas de Fauchon? Sacre bleu!
Jim, say more? What do you mean about not paying her bills?
A feast for the eyes! Maybe The Eddy can source the Caramel au Beurre Sale.
Amazing photos Erik! Like you said Paris is the only city, or at least one if the only cities, that is worth keep going back to. Always charming, rich in history and art yet fun and relaxing away from home. Simply home away from home no matter where you live. Reading your article definitely .makes me want to revisit Paris.

Excited for a new chef at Mattei's. Really hoping they focus more on healthier and plant-based options that emphasize sourcing from a lot of the amazing local farms in SYV.
As for the Coral Casino, seems like an obnoxious boys club over there in their operations/management and the design choices are less than classy.
The big slip-out shown above is on West Mountain Drive. That road has been closed from El Cielito to Coyote since the road slid down the hill several months ago. The only progress towards reopening has been to add several barricades near the slide. The road closure for East Mountain Drive may refer to some other project.

Apparently foodies are willing to pay $285 for a secret supper - it’s Sold Out!
My answer to D’s trivia question is Palomino Road.. if that’s wrong I’m very curious what the correct answer is!
Not really the same. This lot size was zoned for two single homes. The first project was for six units with parking. Now this is 30 units? It seems idiotic to build this.
I have a pizza bone to pick with Mizza. We dined at the State Street location a couple of weeks ago, and the food and service were excellent—a pleasant surprise.
However, the next day when I looked at my receipt, I realized they had charged me $5 just to use a credit card. I politely wrote to the management there to express the bad taste that left in my mouth. It seemed tacky to be charged to pay that after paying over $150 for the (previously acknowledged) great meal and super waitress. The surcharge was never mentioned to me as I ApplePay'ed, and I never saw it on the menu or receipt at the time.
Some quick Googling revealed that these extra service charges and such had been outlawed, and a brand new one was to begin tomorrow, July 1st. The response I got from management (Craft House Group) was wholly dissatisfying. They basically said, the 1985 law you mentioned was later overturned, and the new one beginning on July 1st may still be amended.
Listen, I know it's challenging to pay restaurant leases and staff and run a successful business, but clearly, customers don't like all of these surreptitious surcharges, whether they're legal or not. Is Mizza really expecting people to carry wads of cash around to now pay their dining bills? I mentioned we're local and kind of thought management might have at least offered to refund the $5 (or give it to our waitress), but he didn't.
I'm always sad to see a good restaurant in town fail, but forcing locals to pay an additional 3.5% because you want your food prices to appear lower than they really are is not a solution. Dining out is more costly than ever. Don't nickel and dime us with tacky charges. If you can't make your margins without that 3.5%, then raise the menu prices by that.
Locals would very much like to support local businesses, but this is not the way.
The demise of the historic Coral Casino. Beyond sad. Warner continues to destroy the historic fabric of our community and join in turning everything into LA North
Agree with a lot of what you say, though similar concerns cropped up with the multiple units built on the old St. Francis grounds and the neighborhood absorbed it. This sort of seems like an extension of that.
It’s on the wall in La Arcada Court 1100 block of State Street
hasn't closed escrow yet
Very happy that Bibi Ji’s, my favorite Indian food anywhere, has reopened at 1213 State street.
