[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 8329937, member: 111387"]Interested in your story about the long-lost 'Passage St. Pierre', I stumbled across this page (posted just this last week!). It gives some detailed history about the street. [URL]https://parisianfields.com/2022/05/01/passage-st-pierre/[/URL] My wife and I dined one evening in an American Restaurant a few blocks away from there. She's a somewhat finicky eater, rather, she can at times have a reluctance to try new foods. She knows what she likes, and she likes what she knows. For whatever reason, when I pulled up some images of various Parisian bistro fare, it didn't look very appetizing for her. We weren't about to shell out for haute cuisine. So, after having spent some weeks cruising around Europe, I figured that a familiar 'taste of home' was in order. We went to this Jewish Deli and got hamburgers and fries. In the restaurant, we noticed that every diner in there was eating their burgers/sandwiches with a knife & fork. There we were, the only Americans in the packed American restaurant of Parisians eating our (tasty, I might add) burgers with our hands.
