Brunch at 66 Rue Pigalle


From Bricktops, Naples
Dear Mary and I had a most enjoyable time today, chez "Bricktops" a charming bistro in the Waterside Shops...which originated in Paris, and was a favorite of F. Scott Fitzgerald's... I enjoyed a champagne cocktail, called the french 75, which was french champagne, gin, lemon juice, and a cherry...plus a fabulous made on the premises veggie burger with pomme frites...darling Mary enjoyed crab cake, cole slaw, and devilled oeufs...Andrew, was our inscrutable and personable server- then the manager stopped by to say hello too...



When we left the lovely place, which is decorated with paintings of monkeys, Christopher Spitzmiller double gourd lamps, and Isamu Noguchi lanterns, we saw at the valet parking a beautiful, vintage black Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II, which of course I admired and loved.  Do try Bricktops, it's a real treat, and they also have on the menu shrimp and grits ($19.00) DELICIOUS... ENJOY!  DF *****
