I've always thought this Upper West Side stalwart's murals were enough of a reason to take a seat at the bar.
Little did I know that the real reason to sidle up for a cocktail in the Café des Artistes lounge is to meet its 93-year old grande dame Claire Oesch.
Once in a while the New York Times does things right. Today's profile on Ms. Oesch is a testament to that.
Hi There
I just stumbled upon your blog and think it is an excellent read for foodies and especially like the photos and design of the blog.I started off as a blogger myself and realise the importance of a good clean design like you have here. I have now bookmarked it for myself to read and have added you to our new list of "all the food blogs in the world" on www.ifoods.tv which we have been compiling for the last month! Hopefully it will send you some traffic in the long run. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on food so keep up the good work and talk soon. Cheers
