Bout 20 years ago, before I became a permanent resident of the Nasty Apple, a client brought me to NYC and put me up at a suite in the Algonquin.... Dinner sitting at the Round Table brought illusions of great sophistication and savoir fair. As we sat eating a wonderful chateaubriand with a wonderful tuscan, the client started reminding me more and more of Francis Pangbourne and I started to giggle... and I couldn't stop. Lordy, I miss those days of overindulgence.
The bar now (the bartender is a novelist friend), is pretty much a tourists trap, but with a smattering of habitues who can afford the ambience.
Come to think of it, your partner is starting to remind me of WCF...
