  1. In order to avoid being voted off the Island, let me weigh in to say the Palisades Farmers Market is a jewel. Not very big by Dupont Circle standards, but the Belgian waffles, home grown flowers, tasty goat cheeses, Jamie the Sausage Man and the pickled beets, among other treats, make it well worth the trip. Full disclosure: I live four blocks away, but I still think this is one of the best markets in the metropolitan area. OK, Don, how am I doing? C
  2. I have lived in the Palisades for twenty years and over that period of time the space where Et Voila is now located has been occupied by a dismal array of mediocre and sometimes pretentious restaurants. Then along came Et Voila and the rest is history. I took a friend of mine there for dinner three months ago. He has an apartment in Paris. He told me if he didn't know any better he would have thought he was at a bistro in the 7th Arrondissement. The owners, managers and chefs all make the experience of dining there a real pleasure. My wife and I often will just drop in for brunch on a weekend. Dinner on weekends is a mob scene so we tend to do dinner during the week. Is the food spectacular? No, but it is a fun place to get a good meal with a very Gallic twist. The enthusiasm of the staff and their obvious caring for the clientele make this place such a success. I note that our genial mentor, Mr. Rockwell, has come around and if I read him correctly in his last post on the subject he now shares my enthusiasm for this neighborhood gem.
