Meet Me in Paris (Culver City)

If you can't jet off to Paris for the weekend, then maybe going to Culver City in Los Angeles is the next best thing. They have a Parisian bistro where you can sit on the street and people watch as well some wonderful theaters. This weekend we dined at the above mentioned bistro, fittingly named Meet Me in Paris, and then ventured to the Kirk Douglas Theatre to see a David Mamet play called Race. Knowing in advance that we would be dinning at the Bistro, I wore my Parisian finest in the form of my J. Crew French print popover.

Below are a few glimpses of Culver City's City Hall. It is a new building which makes some nods to the historical architecture of the city's past. 

On to the French cuisine! Meet Me in Paris seems to be known for it's muscles or "moules". I am not so much a fan of anything that needs to be taken out of a shell to eat, but they did have some other delicious dishes and wine to sample.

Did you observe that the escargot is not on my side of the table? Again, that goes back to the whole me not eating things that come from shells. Although I get and appreciate that these are a French delicacy, they look a little too much like what I find in my backyard for my taste.

Pom Frites, or French fries are more my style. These have shaved Parmesan cheese and truffle oil, which makes them all the more tasty!

Last of all, here are a few shots of the Kirk Douglas Theatre, which just celebrated its 10 year anniversary. I've seen several plays here, and it's a great place to take in a play due to the small and intimate feel of the theater. David Mamet's Race was no exception.
