Le Bar
Just got back from another great Paris trip with my awesome September crew. Was working BusinessFirst with Oscar, Mika "Shut the fuck up" Wenman and Scott McK. Poor Chris D had to suffer coach on this one but he had a great bunch of nutters back there.
Jepson opted for the bang-for-the buck evening out with the two wild ones from the crew (Lisa Romano and Bill Gill) as opposed to the let's-do-it-up-we're in-Paris evening that Mika, Chris and I had planned. Oscar joined us for dinner at my standby, Ribe, where we had kirs, beers and a super meal with some decent wine. He called it a night when we went for the cab to go to the fabulous Georges V bar. Known to the locals simply as Le Bar, this had got to be one of the most amazing bars in the world.
The picture shows it in the daytime, but at night it is totally plush and very luxurious. The entire Georges V hotel is sumptuously decorated, with the most amazing floral arrangements everywhere.
Chris ordered a melon martini, which our waiter shook with lots of vigor and rhythm. Mika and I opted for the Grand Marnier 150, which just feels like honey. We were given a sample of the Grand Marnier 100 to compare and all agreed that the 150 was the way to go. Not sure how our intruder, Zanzibar Dan felt, but he certainly threw us for a loop when he joined us and started waffling on about the Catholic church and other nonsensical ditties. Luckily for us, our waiter was on the ball and when I made my way to the ladies room he informed me that he'd already called security. When I returned, Dan had left our table and the others noted the clever tact that the staff had used to liberate us of him. This hotel is so classy--what a wonderful treat to go there.
Cabbed it back then went for a late-night coffee and crepe. Got back to the hotel to find that my room heating was still not working but that the hotel had left an extra blanket for me. Found out thismorning that the troublesome trio stayed out until 4 am!!!! Ouch. The other shocker, Jepson was the sober one!!
