La Grenouille

Editorial Review

Epitome of NY class, in landmark building where Saint Exupéry started writing The Little Prince. Timeless French cooking, soufflé, calf’s liver with dates and raisins, actual frog legs. Elegant suits at lunch, matrons at pre-theater prix fixe, special-occasion dinners with white tablecloths and dim lamplight. Sumptuous—service is off the hook, frilly room has more flowers than Macy’s in March. Family biz, son of original owners still running the show, putting an artist’s touch on things.
