You're right John. I thought the very same. Just seeing the building is still sad. :(
The person behind you also wears stripes. Somehow fitting for the photo ;D. And someone else in one of the pics has a hooded sweater with white and dark blue stripes. I also have one: hoodie, stripes, colors - all the same :).
I like all the paintings, especially the one to the right in this pic:
The person pictured seems gentle and he has warm, kind eyes.
I think Heath would have approved of the location. It's cool.

And I never noticed! Sometimes looking through a camera (or your iPhone) makes you miss things--until you see it afterwards (with the help of smart friends)!
In re everything else, I so agree, Chrissi, on all counts!

"We cook and serve home food, not expensive food that we grew-up on, our Grandma's and Uncle's cooking, simple foods that we all can identifty too, some dishes come from the Basque Country, others from Provence and the cosmopolitan city of Marseille my hometown. More food and energy comes from the border countries of the Mediterranean Sea like Italy, Spain, Corsica, Lebanon, and of course Africa where our outer-mediterranean euphoric-antistress comes from and fulfills the Wizard of L'Orange Bleue ." -Vincent Boitier, Co-Owner
"It's simple food you love, food you can count on, and food to relax too." -New York Times
Zaggat Guide Reviews It: New York's cutest waiters - L'orange Bleue is as wacky as it's given name - There's noting Blue about this place except it's outdoor painted terrace in the spring-summer season.

L’Orange Bleue offers a cheery balance of tempered exoticism, local Eurocharm, and American thrift. The menu echoes this accord: a slightly raunchy puttanesca, mussels in a pungent bath of fennel and curry, a meaty lamb tagine, and tender codfish with tomato and basil. And if the world-beat music is geared more toward the Helmut Lang’d young’uns at the bar, you will endure. Remember, you didn’t have to get any shots. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Unless she's wearing a Comme des Garcons hoodie, in which she may has a third sleeve, just for show!
;D
Meryl:
How interesting, all that background info on the paintings! Thanks for posting more, John. :-*
It's so great to be able to make these little pilgrimages to Heath's haunts. I'm glad everyone is able to enjoy them with John and me, thanks to John's magic, magnifique I-Phone and his inimitable eye for a great shot. 8)
