Amazing brunch!

I'm going to start posting about great meals in the New York (and hopefully, some cities abroad as well). 

A great place for brunch (and probably for dinner) is Buvette. Located in the West Village, this little french spot is really a slice of Paris. The waiters are French, the decor screams of corner tabac, and the food is authentic and delicious! After exchanging a few words with a waiter in French (!!!), I half expected to step out onto the Jardins de Luxembourg. It really is like a little cafe out of the 6th Arrondissement, St. Germain-des-Près. 

Located at 42 Grove St.

Gelato. Enough said.

Attention all future travelers to Florence: Don't listen to ANY guidebooks regarding gelato. I lived in Florence for four months, tried every gelateria you could think of and this is the bottom line - Gelateria alla Carraia on the oltrarno by Ponte alla Carraia is hands-down the best place to get gelato in Florence. Bon appetit!

Attention aux touristes à Florence: N'écoutez pas aucun conseil à propos de la glace, gelato. J'ai habité à Florence pendant quatre mois où j'avais goûté tous les glaces et la vér gelato ité c'est que le meilleur endroit pour en acheter un est Gelateria Alla Carraia. C'est à l'autre côté du fleuve Arno au coin du Pont Carraia et croyez-moi quand je vous dis que c'est l'absolu crème de la crème pour gelato à Florence. Bon appetit!
