Curious George and a glass of wine

Isn't this little bistro sweet?

It's called Le Paris Bistrot. We stumbled across it in Carnegie Hill this weekend and popped in out of the heat for a little afternoon refreshment (aka a glass of rosé).

Also on the agenda for our day double date with L and D was The "Curious George Saves the Day: The Art of Margaret and H.A. Rey" exhibit at The Jewish Museum. The exhibit features original drawings and dummies from Rey's famous Curious George books

as well as original illustrations of lesser known characters such as Pretzel, the world's longest dachshund,

Spotty, the bunny who looks different from the other bunnies,

and Raffy (and all of his 9 monkeys).

The exhibit focuses on this delightful couple's life both in Europe and later in the United States after fleeing from the Nazis in 1940.

Random factoid? Curious George's name was almost...Fifi.
