MAISON KAYSER

“Quiche this good could never be cliché!” He purred.  “I should have bought more,” Me said sadly.  A splendid morning made buttery-yum-special with individual quiches purchased at Maison Kayser in Midtown Manhattan. Warmed in our own oven with a smug nod to last year’s resolution to use at least one kitchen appliance per calendar year, freshly brewed coffee, flaky pastry, and an irresistible aroma were the perfect start to this Christmas Day.

Maison Kayser is quite literally a slice, if you will, of Paris bordering Bryant Park.  What to choose – that is the question.  Their vast array of croissant,  baguettes, pain au chocolat, pastries, tarts, eclairs, as well as full size and individual cakes are masterfully prepared and presented daily.

With tables and chairs at the back and quick,  charming counter service at the front, MK has become the favorite of Bryant Park area residents, commuters and tourists alike.  Certainly a favorite of ours! Bon appetit!

#Riad, Marrakech, Morocco, Riad el Fenn

Entrance to Suite

Riads, even this very fine riad, are not hotels nor are they meant to be.  They are special guest accommodations ranging from the small and simple to the more elaborate, like Riad el Fenn, with several courtyards, three pools, air conditioning,  wide range of rooms and suites. The medina (Old City) is densely peppered with riads of every size and range of amenities to satisfy every preference. For the first time visitor, choosing your riad is very much part of the adventure.

REF (www.el-fenn.com) is unusually large, having originally been several separate residences that were lovingly restored and discretely modernized.  On our first trip to Marrakech, Me thought it would a “safe” choice in a place we’d never been and no idea what to expect. He predictably thought he’d be happy anywhere Me picked. It proved to be a great choice for many reasons. The location could not be more central, the property truly charming and comfortable, and the staff totally engaging and committed to making their guests happy. We liked it so much we’ve been there twice and can recommend splashing out for the terraced pool suites.

  • THINGS WE LOVED:  The atmosphere and décor; morning coffee on the terrace; evening dip in the pool: the gardens, birds and tortoises; evening lanterns; proximity to everything; excellent massages; caring staff, prayers emanating from Koutoubia Mosque.
  • THINGS WE WISHED WERE BETTER: Larger choice of dinner/lunch offerings
