like being disappointed, nor do I like eating bad food. It happened recently at
a new place in town that had gotten some good press (which, suspiciously, may
have been because they were invited guests), and found myself wishing I’d

places in Paris are closed. Some restaurateurs point the 35 hour work week,
which was intended to employ more people and let people work less. And part of
it are employee costs, which make it pricey to hire new people. So if you’re
