May 25, 2012 >> The French do it better: Exploring The French Market

Ah! I’ve just returned from the most fabulous trip—from down the block. There was no better way to welcome back G&F’s Creative Director D. Graham Kostic from his Parisian escape than with a jaunt over to The French Market.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: THE MEATBALL BANH MI AT SAIGON SISTERS // MACARONS // C’EST MOI UNDER THE EIFFEL TOWER // WHAT’S A FRENCH MARKET WITHOUT SOME STINKY CHEESE? // THE FISH MARKET WAS FANTASTIC! OCTOPUS, SKATE, SQUID, OH MY! // ARTISANAL BOOZE AT PASTORAL // CUTE COOKIES // D. GRAHAM KOSTIC UNDER THE EIFFEL TOWER

From Banh Mi at Saigon Sisters (we drooled over The Meatball) to Ginger Beer at Pastoral (whose booth is like foodie heaven), we strolled down all the rues, sipped some café and had a photo shoot under the Tour D’Eiffel. A mid-workday escape? C’est Magnifique!
