Lilmsfoodie:<BR> The White Chocolate Raspberry mouse cake from Versailes is to die for and so is the food. Also at the base of the Avenue is a little place called Cafe Rue, witht he best cream of asparagus soup in the world. Also great cappacino and dessert , they are across the street from the movie theatre on Railroad avenue.<BR> And to really dream of Paris try "Le Figaro " on the lower right hand side of the Avenue. So authentically French you think maybe Edith Piaf is at the next table.

Pont Neuf is a pastry at Versailles. Puff pastry with carmelized apples, sort of a tarte tatin with some sort of creme anglaise on top that is also carmelized...Glad I don't live there, I'd weigh 2k! <BR><BR>I think I've been to both of the restaurants you mentioned. Greenwich is lovely when all the rhododendrons are in bloom. LMF

Let's think about this one:<BR><BR>1) Greenwich is located about 30 miles out of NYC. Traffic on 1-95 is impossible, and if you take the train, you are left practically in the middle of an office park<BR><BR>2) Once you get to Greenwich, it will be almost impossible to find a parking spot (not to mention impossible to afford to shop at the stores)<BR><BR>3) All the really BIG homes are located way back in the woods, mainly near the NY border. <BR><BR>4) The kids from Greenwich HS have been quarantined for SARS virus.<BR><BR>5) It is a boring, rich New England Town with almost N O T H I N G to do. <BR><BR>So, is there anything good in Greenwich? Yes, for dinner, eat at Abis, a hibachi style restaurant located on US-1 (i think). It is really good I hear. Otherwise, nothing at all to do. Stick to NYC

Radiohead: The Greenwich train station is right in town. I don't know where you're referring to.<BR><BR>

Greenwich HS has no SAARS cases. The cases are at a private school, Greenwich Country Day. <BR><BR>

From today's NY Times: <BR>TUSCAN CONNECTICUT The Delamar, a waterfront hotel in Greenwich, Conn., is marking its opening with nightly rates of $175 and up through June 1. The 83-room hotel, a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World group, will charge $335 and up after that. It is a short walk from the Metro-North Railroad station and the shops along Greenwich Avenue; in lieu of tipping, there is a service charge of $15 a night. For guests who don't take the train, valet parking is included and there is a dock for boats. The décor is meant to evoke a Tuscan home; (866) 335-2627 or at www.thedelamar.com.

This hotel is right by the train stop, a little walk into town but it is on the water. A very upscale makeover. Can't remember the name of the hotel, but it is where I have caught the Connecticutt Limo to LaGuardia for years. Looks interesting and a good thing for Greenwich business travellers.
