    Petit Plaisir

    Here’s where I share a favorite moment from the week.

    Celebrating my birthday with family and friends at one of our favorite restaurants in Kansas City, Tailleur on Main. It was a beautiful night on the patio, sharing stories and memories.

    On My Paris List

    Cherry

    The new “it” spot, Cherry, is the new Italian-New York restaurant in Saint-Germain-des-PrĆ©s, bringing Brooklyn flair and Italian soul to a cozy Left Bank setting with vintage dĆ©cor, soft lighting, and a lively soundtrack. Helmed by chef Oscar Aviles Santana, the menu reimagines Italian-American classics like vodka pasta, Caesar salad, and cacio e pepe, making it one of Paris’s most stylish new dining spots.
