Paris (Harry's NY Bar)

Night out:  Cocktails at Harry's Bar, on the right bank near the Opera.  An old institution, built from a bar from NYC that was dismantled and shipped over here in 1911.  Swinging saloon doors and a c. 1900  tin ceiling.  Then taken over by a Scots named Harry.  An American expat hangout for years (Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Stein; Gershwin wrote An American in Paris at the piano bar). The only place in Paris where J. could get a decent Manhattan.  There are American college pennants on the wall. Columbia's must have been one of the originals.  Then back to Le Dome du Marais for a great dinner, lobster ravioli for starter; I had John Dory and J. had  monkfish, and a chocolate cake for dessert. They had lights on the dome, changing colors as we dined.
