we ate breakfast and lunch many times with friends...
sat at the vintage pine communal table and felt right at home...
it is one of the most wonderful places in the world...
joan is a very dear friend and the most gracious hostess...
we sampled just about everything in her amazing marketplace...
we were simply spoiled rotten.
i think i gained 5 pounds ... oh well, every bite was well worth it.
and a HUGE congratulations to joan and her crew... they made the cover of bon appetit magazine february 2010 ... the most fabulous sandwich... grilled cheese and short rib sandwich. go here to read more
special note there is a big celebrity in one of these photos... whoever names them first wins a prize!

Love her entire space....from the penny tiles to the all white vintage bathroom. Then there is the food:) I got hooked on Le Labo candles after smelling the one burning in the ladies room. Oh so lovely!
