Paris in New York: The Met

 Well, finding Paris in New York is much easier than I thought–especially if you take your search to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Today, I took an incredibly long cab ride from my hotel in SoHo to the museum–clearly I was being ripped off as the ride home took a mere 10 minutes.  The rest of […]

Paris in New York: Enrique Muthuan

 Actually, we are starting with Argentina in New York.  This is Enrique Muthuan, a native Argentinian which explains his wonderful accent, now living in New York.  I met him at the corner of Green and Wooster in Soho which sounds a bit bad but really was all quite good.  Enrique was just setting up a […]

Desperately Seeking Paris in New York

 
 
 The Paris Traveler, that would be me, Kim, finds herself in New York.  That is always a good thing, not as good as being in Paris, but I have decided that since I need to be here I am going to seek out all things French:  restaurants, cafés and shopping and report my findings so […]

A Little Dijon With My Life

My daughter just took a job teaching English to high school students in Dijon, France starting this fall.  She has been there already in her travels, but I have not, so I thought I should do some research into where my baby is going to be living and what fun place I will get to […]

Blinded By The Light

 The City of Light is planning on turning down the wattage a bit in an attempt to save energy (more greening of Paris) and address the disturbances it is causing to nature and astronomers.  This light pollution issue is felt throughout Europe and is causing migratory birds to lose their bearings, vegetables are behaving badly […]

Beurre Blanc Sauce

  I don’t write much about cooking even though it is one of my most favorite things in the world to do.  It isn’t every-one’s passion so I stay away.  The last time I did write a post about cooking was to give a recipe for the perfect French vinegrette.  I guarantee that if you add […]

Eiffel Elves

The Eiffel Tower workers are at it night and day getting ready for their new lighting arrangement. This view was taken at 1:45am.  At last check, only 5 of the 27 stars were up.
