We actually had brunch at Pancake Sisters and from the line of people down the block, it was pretty happening for Sunday Brunch.
It was amazing right down to the two bottles of champagne we drank.

I've been off the board for a bit. Not being able to travel does that. When I submitted my new thread, I saw this one and started laughing. I called out to my husband, "Hey, would you ever consider eating brunch in Paris?" Immediate response, "Hell, no. Why would I give up valuable stomach room for brunch in Paris? There are way too many other things I need to eat!"
My thoughts exactly.

Kerouac--I can taste right now the perfect crunch of the perfect tartine. No cafe au lait here--double expressos noirs for us, chocolat chaud for any younger people at the table. Fresh squeezed jus d'orange. Plus a fresh-from-the-bakery-across-the-street croissant. Confiture and beurre dripping over all. And if, as it happened in Sancerre where we spent two weeks, the bakery makes perfect pain au raison, we might stuff ourselves with those.
---------------------------------
I can get bacon and eggs done perfectly in the US. I make fabulous hash browns; actually I can make any type of potato beautifully. Smoked salmon with capers on the greatest bagel in the universe? Easily available.
I just can't recreate here the perfect le petite dejeuner that I can get at the average Paris cafe.
So no brunch, please.
