News Flash: Montreal inhospitable in January

Just got back from Montréal. Damn, folks.... Over the New Year's holiday, that city is really cold and really closed. (Fermé pour les vacances. Nous rouvrirons Janvier 4. Bonne Année!)

What fools are we! That fare was cheap for a reason.

We are so very happy we live in New York and ever-so glad to be home. Despite all that, you'll get the photo-and-food roundup in the next post.

Meanwhile (back in Gotham), La Hedonista weighs in with a table full of other salivating mouths at the Eater: The Year In Eater, 2005

Bon appétit!
