The prices really are amazing there. The Pecan Fried Whiting basket is $5.95 on the menu and the Okra Gumbo is $2.75 .

You won't find me eating oysters there (or anywhere!) but I've always loved the Guastavini tile ceilings. Not only gorgeous, but a lot like stepping back into another time in the station (Jack Finney fans will know what I mean...)

There's more than oysters at this restaurant, one of my favorites in New York as well. Excellent seafood selection as well.

A Day of Decadence in Paris
I don't like food. I don't even love food. A huge part of my motivation to travel abroad is finding amazing places to eat and tasting delectable new dishes.

What a great posting. Some delightful dining experiences for sure. My wife and I are heading to Paris in November and certainly plan to have dinner at Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole. Thanks so much.

Re: A Day of Decadence in Paris
On my first visit to France I visited a small supermarket. I bought a selection of economically priced wines. They all tasted the same - cheap. I was advised by other tourists to look for the laundry basket instore. It contained re-cycled bottles with no label. Just the description on a card attached to the basket. And even cheaper than the junk I'd already bought. It's what you see the locals choosing. 1 red and 1 white basket full of scratched bottles with a new cork . Beautiful wine and...

Re: A Day of Decadence in Paris
Garry, your wine story reminded me of a family experience with French 'vin de table.' My father was stationed in Heidelberg in the late 1950s, and the British, French and U.S. forces gave each other reciprocal privileges in their stores. The main reason for our occasional trip to Baden-Baden, which was the French headquarters, was to refill jugs with inexpensive and quite pleasant French wine. It was, indeed, as cheap as milk! (Although I never thought of using it on cornflakes...). I note...
