The first day of 2009, and it's the last 6 days before 'Little Christmas'--

[Monika]

By 2003, I think your friend was very--cautiously conservative or conservatively cautious, I think! 

I think I read it in a guide book actually. I guess that only goes to prove that you should never trust everything you read
I´ll make a point of it to visit next time.

Monika, my sweet Swedish rose!!

We COULD save for a trip to New York together...... ......maybe a mini-gathering.......

Just an idea.....

Hope you had a beatiful birthday!!

Hey, not a bad idea at all.  We could visit Heath´s restaurant and everything. I LOVED those pics that Jmmgalagher posted from it a week or two ago.
I´d love to go to NY again, especially with another Brokie! 

And thanks, Berit!

Merci jmmgallagher,

The two guys, one in blue and the other in red, looks like my brother (blue) and his partner/lover!!

Maybe is was them, since they were there?

Was it in Deux Amis?

As they are arriving now from England for lastest trip for Christmas, may
you will reply before their arrival, so I can maybe ask them if they were in that
restaurant?

Or maybe you know those two in that restaurant?

I had my art studio in New York City for many years, but I do not remember a Deux Amis!
How long has it been there? Whom are the owners? Maybe gay guy(s) ??

Au revoir,
hugs!

Interesting--I'm always bumping into old friends, Artist--you never know!

'Deux' Amis (on the 12th photo) is on 50th Street between First and Second Avenues--there are a lot of French restaurants in New York, thank goodness! The second restaurant in that series, photos 13 and 14, is called ZéCafé on 52nd Street between First Avenue and the East River (no sign out front), owned by a nice Brazilian man named Zézé--the food is not Brazilian, but a sort of Italian-French-American cuisine, very nice.

'Little Christmas' is nearly ending--and by Sunday evening in New York, the decorations are being taken down. But a few still remain--

Thanks!

I love the Bergdorf's windows--so beautiful and so clever. Too bad Gene Moore's windows at Tiffany's are no more--
