'The aroma of stewed onions hits. I’m brought back to my childhood, to a steakhouse in upstate New York where my parents went for the ribeye and I tagged along for the soup...'
In retrospect, it was the perfect place for my first meal—traditional cuisine and more quintessentially French-looking than I could have imagined. It had the impressive, Belle Époque dining room; the aged mirrors covering the walls; the white table cloths; the tufted black banquettes; the high, stained glass ceiling; the bow-tied waiters.
Minutes later, I took a sip of the sparkling wine, trying to savor every bubble, and settled back into the banquet to watch the ballet around me—the waiters gliding from table to table, noting new orders, removing empty plates, and scraping crumbs from table tops. Their performance was seamless. It was a rare moment when everything was just as it should be. I felt lucky to be exactly where I was—and at the same time, sorry for my sobbing neighbor.
Then an older woman, seated on the other side of our distressed diva, reached over and placed a hand on the girl’s forearm. She wore a silver-white coif and a smart, silk neck scarf—the kind of woman who emits the confidence gained through years of life experience.
