A TASTE OF EMILY IN PARIS

Bonjour mes petits rounders! Oui, the long awaited Season 4 Part 1 of “Emily in Paris” dropped on Netflix Thursday night, and an audible sigh of relief was heard around the world.

Who will Emily choose: Alfie or Gabriel? Who will Gabriel chose: Emily or Camile who is carrying his baby? Who will Camille choose: Gabriel or Sophia?

And that’s just the first ten minutes! But of course it’s not just about the romance. Mindy is back, Sophie is back, Emily’s polarizing fashion choices are back, but just for six episodes. The next six are coming in September when Emily heads to Rome!

But you don’t need a plane ticket to get everything Emily, there are many Parisian gems right here in New York. This past week, PIX’s “New York Living” had me come on the show to share some goodies and show you how to get a taste of Paris right here in NYC. But in case you missed my appearance on Channel 11….

Let’s round it up!

YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR BERET ON!

French Wink is a curated slice of Paris right in Chelsea on 29th st. The boutique and website feature gourmet pantry items, unique gifts and specialized cookware making it the largest curation of French Products in the United States.

It was started by two French moms, Myline and Claire, who met when their children were at school together in New York. Both women were longing for some of the fabulous food and products from their homeland and decided to open French Wink .

They even created a special “Emily's Must Have Collection" filled with chocolate, treats, a beautiful hand designed bracelet, and of course a beret!

And French Wink was kind enough to give us 10% off anything in the store or on the site.

Just use the code Marta10.

People line up around the block for Gautier and his wife Ashley’s hand rolled croissants and their signature Frambroises; A classic almond croissant filled with almond pastry and raspberry ganache imported from France. And when the sun goes down L’Appartement transforms into L’apero an intimate French Biodynamic and Natural wine bar.

THE SECRET TO FRENCH WOMEN’S BEAUTIFUL SKIN? A SPA DAY!

POPPIN’ BOTTLES FRENCH STYLE

This fall or winter if you find yourself in the Flatiron district looking for a cozy spot for a glass of delicious wine and a bite to eat remember La Compagnie Flatiron. Their original location on centre street in “Little Paris” is still there but they recently opened a new location on West 24th Street bringing the experience of a French dinner party to the historic Flatiron neighborhood. 

La Compagnie Flatiron’s wine selection includes hundreds of bottles from small producers, many of which come from French estates. These bottles and by the glass offerings accompany a food menu that includes a wide range of hyper-local and inventive seasonal bites and dishes. The champagne they sent for us to try on the show was one of only 2900 bottles ever made and it was DELICIOUS! The name was “Champagne Jérôme Blin Extra Brut “- ask for it at La Compagnie!

And make sure to grab one of their cards on the way out. They can be planted in your garden and grow wildflowers. Isn’t that a fun sustainable twist!
