Dinner with the Gang of Four

With the end of our program approaching a few weeks ago, a few of my classmates and I decided to go to a restaurant - 404 - (which I'd been praising to them for some time) for a kind of farewell dinner. I'd been suggesting that they all go for a while, but with my time in Paris running out and us all soon to part, we chose that as our group destination. I knew that it was in the 3rd arrondissement, which started right around the corner from my apartment, but only when I ran their address through Google Maps did I realize that it was a scant 400 paces from my front door. Well...I was just getting to know my way around this town and that was a happy surprise.

Katy and I had learned about this fabulous and hip Moroccan restaurant from our friend Iana last year and had gone there while we were in Paris for my 45th birthday and had just loved it. Started by the same owner as the fun and delicious Momo in London (which Katy, but not I, had been to and loved), 404 kicks out chill Moroccan lounge music while serving delectable Pastilla, Tajine, and Cous Cous. I had even recommended it to a nice Aussie family that I met a couple of nights earlier over dinner and, oddly, they showed up shortly after we were seated and sat at the next table.

Spooky.

That's me and my gal pals (Jessica, Sarah, Suzie, and Yuko).
