Ruth Reichl was The NewYork Times restaurant critic from 1993-1999. This older memoir highlights some of her more memorable meals and the antics involved in dining undetected in some of New York‘s must iconic restaurants. Part love letter to NY, part memoir and part cookbook this was a light and enjoyable read. Bittersweet to read about famed Windows of the World Restaurant which was lost to us on September 11, 2001.

Cinfhen This was my 7th book from @MallenNC #NYWD list @monalyisha 😃🎊🥰 (edited) 3y

Cinfhen I‘m happy to send you the book @squirrelbrain I think you‘d like the NY descriptions too 3y
squirrelbrain That would be lovely thanks Cindy! 😘 I was going to include an actual recipe book for this prompt but that might be cheating slightly! 3y
MallenNC I loved the behind the scenes and especially the lengths she went to with disguises! I looked up a lot of the restaurants bc I was curious about which of them were still open. Windows on the World is sad. 3y
KarenUK Such a pretty photo! 💕 3y

Deep sadness and grief are familiar to everyone, the feelings that everyone has experienced, but yet these are the same emotions that isolate us from others. Sad, intimate story about loss and isolation …

Simona @Ruthiella My first book by her, but definitely not the last. 3y
Librarybelle Such a great choice! 3y
Simona @Librarybelle Thank you, I‘m pleased with my choice too 😘 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage This book addresses such a difficult topic and Didion does a beautiful job. I pick a copy up to share every time I see one in a used book shop. Sadly, there are always people who can relate. 3y
Simona @BarbaraTheBibliophage Sadly, yes … and I can see how comforting this book could be. 3y
