bookstores exactly manner
Bookstores don't exactly dot the American highway in the grand manner of Sbarros.
best eat lunch time
Lunch is the best time of day to eat in Paris. Then you get to go walk it off afterwards.
against competing lost room tough
My first novel, 'You Lost Me There,' has been described as a beach read. Tough bracket, beach reads. There's not much room for mistakes when you're competing against the sun for a person's attention.
family
Rosecrans is a family name - it used to be a last name in our family.
love
Americans love popcorn, and their love doesn't quit.
American-French relations, their pitch and volume, have always been influenced by the media.
bar best card choose dinner dive eat good meant near picked report town train
When I was a kid, we didn't eat in restaurants much, but a good report card meant my sister or I could choose anyplace in town for a dinner out, and I always picked Benny's, a dive bar near the train station, because they had the best nachos around.
bowl flattened organized reverse spiral toilet
Paris's neighborhoods, the arrondissements, are organized like a twist. They spiral from the river like toilet water flushing in reverse and erupting out of the bowl - a corkscrew or what have you, a flattened pig's tail, a whorling braid notched one to 20.
france heads
Heads of France lead from a palace, and traditionally they retire to a cloud.
known love
I think the place we love the most is the Parc des Buttes Chaumont. It's in the 19th arrondissement. It's where I would go jogging and my wife, Rachel, and I would go for walks. It's appreciated by Parisians but it's not really known to tourists.
creativity world adults
The best thing about candy is that it can't be spoiled by the adult world. Candy is innocent.
halloween candy-corn next
And all Halloween candy pales next to candy corn, if only because candy corn used to appear, like the Great Pumpkin, solely on Halloween.
memories paris nostalgia
Americans continue to visit Paris not just for Paris, but for ‘Paris.’ As if out of some collective nostalgia for what Paris should be, more than what it is. For someone else’s memories.
children heart holiday
Thanksgiving, our eminent moral holiday, doesnt have much for children. At its heart are conversation, food, drink, and fellowship - all perks of adulthood.
